Sendo-nate! Let's Donate Cash to the Victims of Sendong.

First of all, I'm thankful that my friends and office mates got out of CDO before the typhoon wrecked the province. However, there are a lot people who were not so fortunate. It's time to help.

Red Cross is asking for cash donations. The easiest way to donate cash is through texting RED [space] <amount> to 4143 for Smart subscribers (valid amounts: 10, 25, 50, 100), and to 2289 for Globe subscribers (valid amounts: 5, 25, 50, 100, 300, 500 and 1000).

The second easiest is through the internet. You may go to Red Cross Donate. Several options are listed there. My choice would be Paypal, although they add a little fee for the transaction. But what's a little fee if you can help, right? :)

For those who don't have load or credit cards, you may opt to donate via bank deposit. Here are several bank accounts to deposit to:

These groups are also accepting donations in kind, but I suggest people donate in cash since it would be easier for them to handle. Plus it's also for the uniformity of stuff they will buy and give to the typhoon victims.
