In November of 2013, Typhoon Haiyan destroyed the Philippines. More than ten million people were affected by this massive typhoon. According to USAid,  5,209 people died because of this  tragedy, 4.3 million people were displaced, and 1.1 million homes were destroyed. This has had a lasting affect on the Philippines and we hope to help this cause.
