"As you may have heard Philippines has just been hit, there is a tremendous amount of damage and many, many losses.
But all isn't lost, I know I'll only reach a few people with this journal but I hope that there's a difference that's going to be made with these words I write.
I've recently come back from a vacation there. I've confirmed that my friends are safe and sound but I haven't heard yet from my family. I praying that they're safe but I can't stop worrying. I don't know what I'd do if something happened. I have so many brothers and sisters most under the age of fifteen. I am a god-mother of a four month old baby and a cousin of a 2 year old. I am a daughter of a hard working father and a step-child of the most loving woman.
I haven't heard a single word from them.
I fear for all the people who are the same as me. People who have families. I worry for the people who've lost it all, for the people who lost their homes, their loved ones.
Please help these people. Find it in your heart, even to just pray and wish them well. To hope that everything will turn all right in the end.

Please help in any way that you can... My prayers will be heavy with thoughts of the families and victims of this insane typhoon.
