Sitting around the family table with a sturdy roof over my head and food aplenty on this Thanksgiving Day (as many of you undoubtedly also have done), I started thinking about our fellow human beings in the Typhoon Haiyan region of the Philippines. Well over a million people in that Region are without a home or without relatives, or both. They have little to be thankful for on this day (compared to many of us) beyond their life, the clothes on their backs a little donated food and water.
So before I sat down on my couch and let the "tric" drug in the turkey put me to sleep, I decided to make a small contribution to help out these people on this special day of thanks. If you have similar feelings, join me after the jump /\ over the squiggle for some important links to relief agencies.
Remember, only give what you can, but try to give if you can. Here are some links for making donation to help out the victims of Typhoon Haiyan:
1. RedCross ;
2. CARE ;
3. DoctorsWithoutBorders
There are other organizations, but I limited the list to the ones I know so I am sure of not directing Kossacks to bogus sites.
Do what you can, and take the poll.
