Power has returned to portions of Bantayan just prior to 8am yesterday; both Mama Rose & Mama Helen's Families were texting me as soon as their phones were charged.
Both Families small nippa/native houses (dwellings actually - they were very small) have been destroyed, meaning the roof and walls are completely gone, and a portion of the bamboo foundation is what remains.
Mama Rose's children have told me they are still sleeping outside in the elements and trying to find tarp to create a makeshift roof, while they try to salvage their personal belongings: pots & pans and a few pieces of their bamboo furniture they kept outside is still intact.
Mama Helen's children have told me they are sleeping in the local school, while Papa David salvages what's left and begins cleaning up.
Both Families are desperate for help, as this is the worst disaster they've had to endure in quite some time.
Readers can help me help them by using PayPal - they currently need rice, drinking water, clothes & baby diapers etc.
