Ifugao Province Hit Hard
Donate to a Relief Fund with NGO Matching at 100%
All online donations made to the RINJ Foundation for the remainder of this year will be used 100% to help displaced families from the three recent typhoons. This is bad, folks. Across most of Luzon and down south as well families have lost everything. The typhoons plus the ferocious COVID-19 epidemic are just slamming the country.
The RINJ Foundation has agreed to match 100% of all donations.
This work is ongoing regardless of your donation. What you give allows the RINJ group to do more. Right now the biggest danger is people who have lost their chronic health care medications and their money. With COVID-19 spreading, their risk is heightened by not managing chronic underlying conditions. RINJ is either drop shipping from suppliers or hand delivering via motorcycle rider.
What the RINJ Foundation is doing today is providing free replacement medications for chronic illness, housing assistance, blankets, masks and other needs. Filipinos can call: 0928 716 4921 (Smart) Overseas call landline: +63 074 246 3961

Philippines slammed by eight different tropical storms or typhoons since the start of October 2020, recently, three in one week.
A river in Marikina, (shown in video below ) located in the Manila metropolitan area, was said to have risen a meter (3 feet) in less than three hours. As of 12 November, several dams were in danger of overflowing due to the heavy rains. On 15 November, evacuees were returning home to find their homes and belongings washed away.

November 11 at 1:05 p.m. Philippines Standard Time (05:05 Universal Time), a few hours before the typhoon made landfall.

Evacuees come home to find their belongings washed away and their homes gone. According to Kasha Patel of NASA, “The typhoon is now crossing the South China Sea, but the agency still warned of flash floods, rain-induced landslides, and sediment-laden streams in areas in the Philippines. The country has been hit directly or partially by eight different storms since the start of October 2020.” Vamco comes less than two weeks after Super Typhoon Goni brought heavy rain and winds upward of 310 kilometers (195 miles) to the same regions.
