(advanced) merry christmas ! 🎄 i know i havent been active as of late 😬 but turns out ive been busy for the holidays

speaking of, a typhoon hit my country pretty recently. im lucky to not have been majorly affected, but for others, that isnt the case. unfortunately, the holiday merriment doesnt magically solve hunger and need in the affected communities. in line with this, my family and i in Rotary have organized a call for donations, and if youre in the philippines, i hope your families are doing well this christmas weekend and i encourage you guys to donate if you can! tis the season of giving after all 🎁

ill list down the details below the cut. i didnt want to publicly post our addresses and bank details on this blog, so if youre interested in donating, send me a message on here or over on my main @dora-the-grownup so that i can direct/guide you properly !!

Although more than 2 months have passed, communities affected by Typhoon Odette are just now getting back on their feet. Unfortunately the UN World Food Programme warns that nutrition and food security will be an on-going issue in the new year.

Typhoons are not the only concern for Filipinos, climate change is also bringing rising temperatures and rising sea levels to the country. These issues may lead to more crop pests, lower quality vegetables, damage to fisheries, and flooding of farmlands.

anyways yeah thats the gist of my situation rn but its a lot more than that tbvh my mom relies on her online job for income so now that she cant work (no internet) we’ll eventually go broke and most ATMs are also offline so its hard to be able to withdraw cash...we used to pay around ₱100 everyday just to have clean bathing water but i think our water is back running now?? still no electricity though cause a lot of posts/wires fell during the typhoon and linemen are still doing clearings, lots of roads are unpassable bc of fallen debris/posts ☹️ people are having a hard time reaching out/communicating with their loved ones cause its hard to message and call people with no signal here, our relatives from another province had no way of contacting us for days and they were worried sick about whatever situation we were in. to top it all off we’re not getting enough media coverage cause yeah people are really struggling to cover news here with no signal :/ and we cant ask for help/support or send updates when we literally have no access to the internet (i only managed to post this cause we travelled all the way to the northern part of our province where damages are lesser and electricity is available)

this is getting long and i only really wanted to make a brief post but i ended up rambling cause our whole province is in shambles, people are doing everything just to survive and get basic necessities and my mind wont be in a good place until we get to recover :(
