I am sure that everyone is doing the best they can to help this awful situation.

We have many Filipinos in Alberta who are migrant workers. I spoke to one lady originally from Luzon north of Manila, several times over the past few days. Her family are safe but she says there are people she knows who are missing.
This lady is usually upbeat and always smiling, but over the past few days she has been carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.
We can only hope that there are more survivors found alive, but it doesn't look good.
I urge everyone to help in any way they can. Our son just dropped in to visit us and said that he had just given $150 to the Red Cross, we will be contributing as well, as we always do in these sad times.
I just thank God that I do not have to go through what the people in the Phillipines are going through, in the wake of this tragedy.
