Join Allure Apps and partners in helping the Philippines and victims of Typhoon Haiyan
Our hearts go out to the millions of Filipinos who have been dislodged from their homes by this catastrophic disaster that is Typhoon Haiyan. News of this devastation hit worldwide Friday afternoon but it is only the beginning for the 600,000+ surviving victims distressed with no food and minimal water resources. To make matters worse, immediate relief efforts were obstructed due to roads and bridges being damaged or containing copious amounts of wreckage and debris.
Super Typhoon Haiyan, whose winds reached 195-200 miles per hour destroyed about 75% of infrastructure in its path as it raged through the Central Philippines. More specifically, the town of Tacloban was hit the hardest and the desolation of the typhoon has left them struggling on their own since food distribution is overwhelmed by the large crowds of survivors outnumbering the manpower to help aid the typhoon victims. Donations have been pouring in through all outlets of media where people can donate via text to Relief Programs such as the Red Cross.
Allure Apps has partnered up with several local businesses and non-profit organizations to gather goods such as food and supplies; A well renowned shipping company LBC has volunteered and offered to ship various donations of clothes, food and supplies at no cost in an effort to expedite relief efforts.
