Ripples of Love -- * Rebuild the Philippines *, V2 from +Rusty Ferguson

This is a circle that supports +Habitat for Humanity’s program to Rebuild the Philippines. To support this circle, you can share it or donate or both.
Today, I learned the elementary school in Tacloban still has no electricity so the children need to bring a battery powered lamp. That should let you know the need is slow. Can't wait for the government to do it. We must do it. Hope you can help.
For some this will be a reminder. Please understand that A lot of people doing a little will have a huge impact.
We are making ripples when we post on Google Plus, FaceBook, Twitter and other social media. Why not make those ripples mean something positive?
When you make or share a post, those post spreads out across the Internet like tossing a rock into a pond. The Internet is an infinite pond, so our impact can also be as infinite as our zeal to support something worthwhile.
What is a little? If only I could get more people to understand that $2.00 is enough if everyone participates we could easily build an entire home for a Filipino family as the cost is under $4500 to build an earthquake and super typhoon resistant home in the Philippines. A home much nicer than most Filipinos live in.
If two dollars is all you can give than please give that. It’s enough! Some donated less than a dollar and that too is enough! Every drop expands the ripple.

However, I realize times can be hard. You may not have a dime to spare but you can still help. When you reshare this circle, others will see it. Though you may not be able to contribute they may be able too. Or they may share it too. The ripple will grow.
A week or so ago, I got an email from Habit for Humanity (HFH) requesting additional help for the victims of Typhoon Hiayan.
Here is a portion of their email:

Your commitment to help rebuild the lives of the families who were displaced by Super Typhoon Yolanda inspires me and my coworkers. Because of you, Habitat has been able so far to repair 22,000 damaged homes and to start constructing the first 1,000 of the 30,000 houses it aims to construct for the Yolanda survivors.
I'm writing to you right now -- exactly six months after the tragedy -- in behalf of the Yolanda survivors. Most of the displaced families are still living in makeshift houses, tents, and evacuation centers. They are currently enduring a hot summer but soon it will be replaced by the country's often very wet season. I urge you, therefore, to help us remind others about them.

There was a PDF included that revealed this:

It’s been six months since Typhoon Yolanda (international name: Haiyan), made its tragic landfall in the Philippines on November 8, 2014. Aside from the more than 8,000 Filipinos who died and are still missing, the typhoon affected…
14 million Filipinos
Destroyed or severely damaged more than a million homes
Wiped out or impaired millions of people’s livelihoods…
And dreams.
But there’s hope. You can support them by donating through

(Additional options for donations below)
If you want a clearer picture of what your donation would enable
Habitat to do, a gift of Php 15,000 ($340) is enough to repair a house of a family displaced by Yolanda through our Shelter Repair Kit (SRK) System. A donation of Php 200,000 ($4550) would enable us to build a core house unit for a family that could withstand a major earthquake and super typhoon winds of up to 275 kilometers per hour.

I have posted a picture of the homes Habitat for Humanity is building in the Philippines here:

Some people have problems with making donations on the Habitat site. I didn’t have any problems. If you create an account and log in, I think it will be easier there is another option.
