~CSI - An URGENT Appeal for HELP!

********************************************
Compassion Services International
URGENT APPEAL
We are appealing to anyone that can donate to help those affected by Typhoon Washi!

Typhoon Washi has devastated the Southern Philippines. The violent storm slammed ashore on Mindanao island this past weekend while its residents slept. The storm sent torrents of water and mud through the villages. The hardest hit areas were Iligan and Cagayan de Oro City. Flood waters washed away entire houses while the families were still inside. One such area located in Iligran that is between two rivers had 70% of its homes washed away. Reports have come in that more than 1000 people have perished. Hundreds of people drowned in flash flooding while others perished in sudden landslides, which reportedly engulfed entire villages.This storm has affected more than 300,000 people. Rescue efforts are still underway to search for the hundreds that are still missing.

We have received word from those on the ground that the people affected are in need of food, water and clothing. You can help by making a donation so that financial help can be sent to supply these most basic necessities. Financial donations are the quickest way to get help to the area. At this time of year while we celebrate the greatest gift we have been given please consider giving to help those who have lost so much. Please keep the people of the Philippines in your prayers. The rebuilding process will be a long road.


To make a donation please visit our homepage at www.compassionservices.org. Donations can also be sent directly to our office: 3333-1 Rue Royale, St. Charles, MO 63301.
