Donating to a Mindanao medical mission with the Red Cross' Marawi Funds, Philippines
After @steemph was launched in August 2017, the very first fund-raising made was for the Marawi residents from the war that broke out in May of the same year, this via the Red Cross fund-raising concert done in Manila, also in August. With the funds raised and donations, all efforts were made for Red Cross Philippines to received them to no avail.
Disclaimer: grabbed from Drei Toledo's Facebook wall.
Last January 21st, an urgent call from Drei Toledo, a private citizen in Facebook was asking for help as one of their pharmaceutical donors has delayed its' release of medications, vitamins and flu medications for their medical mission in a remote location in Lanao, a remote area beside Marawi City. Since the war, no government aid was ever received for those 10, 000 people in need of medical aid, most especially the malnourished pregnant women and children.
With the raised funds and donations from last year, the core of @steemph have all agreed to donate this fund to help this mission, and with a total of 30,000 Pesos, this was sent to Drei Toledo in purchasing the necessary medications needed.
We have requested photos for this mission for transparency and accountability to the platform and anyone who have helped us raised this amount.
Again "thank you" for putting your faith on @steemph, for believing in our mission to help the unfortunate Filipinos in need. Anyone who is willing to join us and volunteer on our charity initiatives in and outside Manila, please don't hesitate to contact us.
bayanihan! God bless everyone
