please help the philippines :(

Hi Tumblr, I’m Patricia from the Philippines and my country really needs your help.

Like most of the world, we are currently on quarantine and lockdown. Unlike most first world countries though, my countrymen are dying of hunger due to many reasons: 1) losing their only means of livelihood 2) most people below the poverty line only have enough savings to feed their family for 4-5 days. And we have been on lockdown for almost 30 days now. The lockdown will continue until the end of April (or even longer) which leaves millions of Filipinos stranded in their homes with no help. Those who try to leave home to find help are threatened to be shot dead by our President. Our government, despite having received emergency powers and relief funds from other countries and the World Bank, continue to squander our funds with corruption and inefficient governance. Meanwhile, street vendors, public transport drivers, construction workers, and millions of other hungry Filipinos are deprived of relief goods due to their rural, far-flung location—the entire informal sector has essentially been left to go hungry. Only the privileged can “work from home”, so where does that leave the rest of the population? On the streets.

In response to this, organizations and the private sector has come together to help feed hungry communities and provide aid to frontliners who have been forced to buy their own PPEs and equipment due to lack of hospital funds. However, since it’s been a month of donation drives and fundraisers, donor fatigue has been settling in and most of our funds are running dry. This is why I’m writing to you today. I sincerely hope I can ask help from the internet to send help to where we are. Our frontliners, farmers, daily wage workers, and poor families desperately need your help.

Below are links to the Fundraisers I’m working on with descriptions of who it’ll be donated to. And I swear, every dollar would go a LONG WAY. Imagine $1 is 50 Philippine Pesos. Food packages cost around $10-$20 depending on the contents. You can feed a family of five for around 4-5 days with that much. Imagine how much you could help :( I know these are tough times for everybody, so don’t feel pressured to donate what you cannot afford! I’m really just trying to get the word out there and maybe it can reach a generous soul or two.

This fundraiser will be sending relief care packages to farmers in the provinces of Benguet, Ifugao, and Nueva Vizcaya. Because of the transport ban, they have been struggling to sell their produce and no longer have a source of income for basic needs. :(

This fundraiser feeds the families of Novaliches, Quezon City with food packages to help them survive the remainder of the lockdown and transport ban.

This initiative helps raise funds for public transportation drivers who have lost their means of income because public transportation has been banned by the government. This includes public transpo drivers and ride-hailing app drivers who have lost their jobs.

This initiative is raising funds to feed frontliners who are working day and night to help fight COVID-19.

My paypal link is http://paypal.me/policrapio and you may include in the message area which specific beneficiary you’d like to help. If you can’t afford to help, that’s totally fine! If you could simply reblog and help share this post so it may reach more people who may be able to help, then you would have helped so much already <3

If these causes don’t align with how you want to help, there are so many more Philippine donation drives in need of support. You can find them here and here. If you have any questions feel free to message!!!!

TLDR: My heart is aching for our country and we really need help. Please donate if you can :(

Update: We were able to reach approx. 50 families (split among farmers and urban poor families) with the donations everyone sent!!! So, so grateful for the amount of help Tumblr has sent. <3 These projects are still ongoing so if you’d like to sponsor a struggling families’ groceries for a week, you can still do so for only $10 !! Or even split with a friend and $5 each would already make a world of a difference for the families relying on relief goods. If you wanna know more about their situations, feel free to PM me. And if you cant donate it’s alright! Just keep sharing this like wildfire as each reblog could reach a potential donor! ❤

The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

“With Satine, we needed to make it clear that this is the most beautiful woman in Paris. Admittedly, Nicole is already very beautiful, but she may not be everybody’s idea of ideal beauty, so we needed to make it clear with the costumes’ signs and symbols that that’s who she was. We looked to Hollywood’s glamour heroines like Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo - all sexually available to the men in the movies but emotionally very unavailable, and we looked at how that manifested itself in their clothing. Their wardrobes tended to be very graphic, unfussy, dramatic in their colour choice. We then used that.” - Catherine Martin (costume designer for Moulin Rouge!)

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months. And then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter, I sat down, and I wrote our story. A story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people. But above all things, a story about love. A love that will live forever.

Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months and then, one not-so-very special day, I went to my typewriter. I sat down, and I wrote our story: a story about a time, a story about a place, a story about the people but, above all things, a story about love, a love that will live forever. The End.

Then I’ll write a song and we’ll put it in the show and whenever you sing it or hear it. Or whistle or hum it then you’ll know.

You’re not another of Toulouse’s oh-so-talented, charmingly bohemian, tragically impoverished protégés?

get to know me meme: [6/10] favourite movies: Moulin Rouge! (2001) “We have a dance in the brothels of Buenos Aires. It tells the story of the prostitute and a man who falls in love with her. First, there is desire. Then, passion. Then, suspicion. Jealousy. Anger. Betrayal. When love is for the highest bidder, there can be no trust. Without trust, there can be no love. Jealousy, yes, jealousy will drive you mad”
