The Philippines is suffering and recovering from the worst storm to hit the northern Philippines in nearly 40 years. Although we hear very little about it in the news today, the crisis is very real and urgent.

The storms have killed more than 240 and have left thousands homeless. But there is hope.

Even though you’re on the other side of the globe, you can play an important part in ongoing recovery and relief efforts.

FAN has already taken the lead with a donation from its board members. Now we invite you to join us.

We’ve identified three established organizations already involved in relief efforts. Even if you can only donate a few dollars, every donation is needed and appreciated.
