Troubles in Cebu this week
After a wonderful week in Cebu last week with a few local girlfriends, it is amazing the calamities that have struck my little circle of friends.
GF1. Elderly father needs urgent laser surgery.
GF2. Needs money for pain medication for Lupus.
GF3. House has burned down and her family is now homeless.
After reading this Forum I was expecting this. Even on the dates, I was getting the story about needing money. Really they are quite creative.
I have put them in contact with Ausaid ([url]http://www.ausaid.gov.au/country/cbrief.cfm?DCon=1148_8702_9418_7487_8517&CountryID=31&Region=EastAsia[/url]) which details the many aid programs available.
All the best in that wonderful city. I am working on getting back there sooner than later. I accept that if I want a regular I am probably going to have to provide a little more than taxi money.
