Pearl S Buck Launches Online Typhoon Relief Fundraiser

Pearl S Buck, headquartered in Perkasie, has begun a fundraising effort to help victims of the typhoon that devastated parts of the Philippines earlier this month.

According to the organization, 45 of its sponsored children are homeless and without food and water due to the storm. 

“Our in-country Executive Director has traveled into Cebu, and supplied our sponsored children with financial assistance for their immediate needs. This is only the beginning, however, as additional financial assistance for food and water will be required along with financial support to rebuild or repair their homes,” the organization posted on its website.

Pearl S Buck has set up an online donation page to raise money for the victims. Click here to learn more.

The death toll in the Philippine city of Tlacoban may be as high as 10,000, or five percent of the population, according to the New York Times.
