Bangon Iloilo Appeal for Help

Dear Friends,

The greatest catastrophe brought about by Typhoon Frank to our city is truly tragic and unimaginable. Numerous lives claimed due to the flashfloods in various districts and countless families who became homeless overnight brings emotional and psychological trauma to all Ilonggos.


As of the latest report dated June 24th at 4:30 PM, there are 145 barangays already affected out of 180 comprising the city; 242,000 individuals misplaced out of 418,000 residents. The worst is there are already 169 severely injured and 21 declared dead.


At present, we have identified 32 evacuation centers all over the city to temporarily house the victims of the typhoon, sadly, relief goods are fast diminishing and we sincerely hope that you could help us provide for these poor families.


Last Monday, the city council has already declared the whole city under a state of calamity.


We are in dire need of medicines to cure water-borne diseases and influenza, vaccines for leptospirosis and tetanus, potable water, clothes, blankets, mats, household utensils, soap and food.


Please course all relief assistance to Ms. Snow Chua at the city mayor's office with telephone numbers # (033) 337 0036; 3372760.


Our profound gratitude for whatever assistance you may extend and we ask for your continued prayers as we go through this very trying time in our lives.


Sincerely,


JERRY P. TREñAS
