The Philippines has endured two typhoons in the last four weeks with a third ready to hit the northern island of Luzon again before the weekend.
Homes and whole villages have been lost to the first two typhoons which brought rain, floods and landslides. As I am writing this, hundreds of thousands of families are again being evacuated in expectation of the typhoon called "Ramil" with the international name of "Lupit".
Donations are being collected throughout this week for money, cleaned clothing and blankets, non-perishable food, medicines (over the counter), toiletries and other basic necessities. All donations will be going to those that have been most effected by the typhoon disasaters.
Please think of donating to the relief drive as you do your shopping and clearing out your closets this week. They are asking for over the counter medications such as Tylenol, robitussin, pepto bismol, etc. I can imagine their need for diapers and sanitary items (sealed, unopened packages please). Just think of what you will need if you were displaced in a shelter.
Distribution and shipping will be provided by the Los Angeles BALSA Relief. BALSA is integrated with the Filipino masses, ensuring all donations will be effectively used to help the urban poor, peasants, women and children, and other sectors of society.

Helping you find your path home.
Joel Mateo (1968-2007)
Joel passed away last October 2007, just 6 months after being diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer. Joel was 39 and is survived by his wife, Ever, and two young boys, Jonah and Ayden. Joel was a hard-working and loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend. Unfortunately, at the time of his diagnosis, Joel did not have health insurance and therefore faced many challenges with receiving health care. Fortunately, by the grace of God, he was able to find kindhearted, competent physicians at St. Joseph Hospital, where he fought a hard but brief battle. He was the bread winner of his household. As you can imagine, Joel's family has been left behind with the difficulties of trying to piece back their lives while facing insurmountable financial burdens.
Our Mission
