Presently, I’m going around the gaming community seeking aid for my country. I was born and raised in the Philippines before I moved here to America. I’ve experienced first hand how bad the storms there could be, but it was nothing like typhoon Haiyan.

Everyone I have a favor to ask. My country was ravaged by what is considered the worst typhoon of all time. Estimated 10k dead. Many hanging on trees or floating in water. My country was declared in a state of calamity. I would like to ask you guys for any donation you may provide.

It hurts my heart to see the carnage that happened to the country I grew up in. To see dead bodies everywhere, to see ships washed into the cities, destroying houses, the children who didn’t make it. Dead bodies that litter the streets, polluting the water that people still drink so that they can survive. People who are starving and lost everything. It’s simply heart breaking.

Anything helps. Here’s info and ways to do so. Thank you in advance

Update: steam just pinned my post about asking the gaming community for help, I was surprised because I thought it would've been deleted. Some developers and game personalities also RT me. Even if only a few people can help, it still a big help for everyone. Thank you all in advance. This is quite an emotional subject for me and so I'm touched by the love. My family and friends and my friends' family and friends are still there. It's a scary situation for all of us.

here's a video of the aftermath and to give an idea on how bad it is. There's other videos about the storm there.
