Put me on the list.

Her family is on a farm near Babatngon, several miles outside of Tacloban. They are at the end of the line for power so will get it last. They live partway up a small hill which makes me hope for the best. The fields always flood, but the house never has. It has concrete walls but I assume the roof is damaged. Who knows?

She bought tickets this summer planning to visit in one month. What a mess she is in for. We were talking last night about paying extra baggage fees to bring lots of thrift store clothes and other needs.

Either that, or you could send a balikbayan box, but then again, with so many homes totally destroyed, I am not sure where they would deliver it.
