In the past few days, the arrival of Typhoon Carina (international code name: Gaemi) in the Philippines has caused non-stop rain and severe flooding in various parts of the country, leaving countless people stranded or forced to evacuate and leave behind their homes and belongings.

The effects of the typhoon have left many communities in need of all kinds of aid and assistance, including donations in the form of food, drinking water, clothing, medicine and more, as well as monetary provisions and shelter. These donations will go to affected communities in many areas in Central and Northern Luzon, as well as in various parts of Metro Manila, including Marikina and Quezon City.
