Goodmorning lotters! I would like to tell you my experience , my first time to donate in a local donation drive here in the Philippines. If you have watched the news about some parts of the Philippines submerged in floods, yes it's true.And its heartbreaking seeing my fellow Filipinos suffer. I am not blaming our government because I can see us Filipinos also has to be blamed at one point. But despite those lapses some Filipinos created donation drives to help others badly hit by the storm. I am proud that the kpop fandoms that I am in created donation drives, they accept any amount, goods , anything that can help our countrymen. Our government is helping too but I know it is not enough. I donated using ny remaining earnings here in mylot. I transferred using paypal. I am proud to say that my earnings from mylot go a long way to help people in dire need. They lost their hones, properties and their loved ones by this typhoon and it hurts to see them. I never had second thoughts in donating.That's why I am always eager to earn here . Its a good feeling that after I donated I know even though its a small amount I helped people who I dont know. The Philippines will rise. Filipinos can! Aja! Fighting!

me and my college batchmates created a fund to raise funds. We have several batchmates that originated from Cagayan and Isabela and they are the ones who spearhead in bringing help there. We usually do this also when a batchmate, a family or friend is in need. It does not need to be a big amount. As long as you help

When we have earthquakes, the first thing we gather is food and clothes.

Whenever you did something voluntarily to help someone in need, it makes you feel good. I am sure that any donation, any help will be much appreciated by those severely affected by the calamity.

@Raine38 Absolutely right! I did not just reposted posts or tweets because I know the situation is serious, cant stand seeing them in that situation.

@sophie09 I know how it feels if you lost everything. The reason I helped is because I remember the time where I dont have anything , its hard and its depressing.Fortunately there are acquaintances that helped me without asking and doubting. And by this I am sharing what I got when I didnt have anything.
