Help Fire Victims

A tragic incident happened last August 10, 2010 in Sitio F. Villa in Barangay T. Padilla. Fire hit the place that Monday, noon. On a recent estimation, nearly 30 houses were razed down. Close to 2,000 families lost their homes and belongings. Fire officials said that it was the biggest fire that hit the city this year.

In line with the sad occurrence, our dear brothers and sisters are knocking the doors of your hearts; asking for anything that you think can help them. Here are the things that are much needed by them at this point in time:

• clothing (for adults and especially for children)
• blankets
• plastic mats
• assorted, usable kitchen utensils

Of course, the greatest help, let's all pray for them that they will be able to recover from the happening and to cope up with the trauma they gained.

Some of the victims are currently settled in the different evacuation centers in the sports complexes of Barangay Day-as, Tejero, Zapatera and T. Padilla.

Drop off your donations at the Casa Gorordo Museum or at the Eduardo Aboitiz Development Studies Center, 35 Lopez Jaena St., Cebu City. Collection of contributions will be until Friday, August 13, 2010.

GOD SPEED to all of us, most especially to the fire victims. Let's all help!
