Just 3 weeks after Central Visayas was rocked by powerful 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake that killed hundreds. A very powerful Category 5 super typhoon hit Central Visayas. It is believed that not less than 10k died in one city alone and thousands are homeless that need food , clothing and shelter. As of now many areas still isolated and cutoff. Me and my family still lucky that God still spared us. I think this is the only way I can help my fellow Visayans.

If you have spare money you can donate below.  Don't worry this is honest foundations.

I was looking for bitcoin-accepting charities that support typhoon-victims and I only found this http://worldaid.org/donate-bitcoin-for-charity/ any idea if they are legit?

Donated.

I would like to bump this thread, also if there are any Australians out there looking to donate - you can do so via: http://www.redcross.org.au/typhoon-haiyan-2013.aspx - any amount is appreciated!

Well, I live here. I can convert any bitcoins you send me to Philippine Pesos, and then remit it directly to ABSCBN Foundation, GMA Foundation and Philippine Red Cross through their bank accounts. (I can even do it online, because I have a BDO account.)

What I'm doing now is accepting donations that will be used to buy food; separate thread.

My unit is also doing a repacking operation this coming weekend. (We chop up stuff into little packs that can be given to individuals.)

[Dabs]

Okay, I replied in your topic.

I don't know. This sentence makes me a bit suspicious: Send exactly 1.00 BTC (plus miner fee) to:

You shouldn't set an amount like that when you're asking for donations. Every donations help, even the small ones....

It uses the coin base donation widget. You can specify the amount to donate in the textbox.

[Dabs]

Yeah, but sending dust donations don't really help. Seriously. Don't send anything less than a transaction fee.

Revised to around 2,000. Still a terrible thing.

Thats only the total bodies that has been found in only one city.  There are many more missing and bodies that is still in the ruins and areas isolated.

I challenge all, let's leave this in the hands of BITCOIN members and let's do our own relief.  I will buy up to one bitcoin from any active participating member which I will need to buy!  up to $400 max if someone will match me and start this fund!
 $200-250 would be my ideal donation!!

My few bitcoins are in cold storage and any loose .001's i sent to btc-e for LITE exchange..


I will also give up to 20-25 LTC for this and you will see my new forum listing for LTC relief support!



Anyone?

Not sure if my donation offer warrants its own topic (as it's a one-shot deal for 1 person with a US shipping address), but:
