Extending the Holiday Season during a Crisis | Community Charity Initiative

Ever since the typhoon, things are really tough in terms of communication especially the internet. The struggle of accessing peak or any hive dapps is, so stressful because it takes so much time before the website loads.

One of the few places that I go to in order for me to be able to do some Hive work is Marco Polo Hotel which was the closest place to my location but I had limit my visit there because somehow it cost fortune. So, am not able to upload some photos in Hive but will try once I go to the city and will do a batch of upload like I what I ded when I went to Marco Polo.

If you don't know by now, the aftermath of the recent typhoon had brought families in crisis and even our @hivecebubloggers members were devastated and one family from our @hivecebubloggers community lost their home. So, I set a plan of visiting them a little over a week from now.

But before I came up with this plan, I was thinking of what organization or area to choose to do my charity work and even asked @sellennee to make a Donation Drive poster to help Filipinos affected by this calamity. But now that my sister @gerel left to go home to our hometown and not having a helper anymore made it harder to organize some activities. In terms of time between my family and others, the energy, and resources, this made me realize I cannot be of help if I am incapacitated. The truth is, we are all in a crisis right now but we are all doing our best to really get through this!

So, I reached out to one our @hivecebublogger's community leader to help me organize a charity work for our community.

A lot of our @hivecebumembers are still in the process of recovering from the aftermath of the typhoon and I am hopeful that better days will be here soon.

We all want to help a lot of people during this crisis but we cannot help everyone and because of the power outage it made it harder to organize this activity but we will do our best to help more people, in time.

But even after going through all the stress while trying to cope in this current situation, I cannot stand the fact that others need help, so I tried to do some things that will make a small impact on others because it makes me happy. So, I did some small charity work inside our neighborhood and close places from my location just giving random stuff like food and available drink.

This time, I chose @hivecebubloggers members to do my charity work, I am going to distribute some goods like noodels and canned food. I don't have much right now since I had already been distributing some items but thanks to @filipinajourney she donated some goods too.

P.s. this blog was supposed to be posted two days ago but I could not upload any photos in Hive (except other social media) because of the slow internet connection. You can follow me on my Twitter account, "itspurepinay" for some updates.

Update #2:

At the time of writing this, it's past 5am, and having my coffee, which is another luxury. In a little bit, I will be packing some stuff to distribute some members of @hivecebubloggers. It's a challenge trying to keep our home clean because of our two cats, my baby who plays none stop and living a two bedroom unit which a little over 100 square meters, and not to mention I am a hoarder of random stuff!

So, I will be distributing these random items that people can make use of like mattresses, 3 fans, some towels and rags, cleaning stuff, etcs. I'll give you an update soon.

Update #3: Really struggling with internet connection!!!

I sent 100 HBD to @hivecebubloggers to fund a small amount for the salary of those who are currently helping to work on the account while am incapacitated of this poor internet connection and most of our leaders and members are trying to cope with the current situation. P.s. Thank you so much in advance to @sellennee, @humbledwriter, @asasiklause, @kristiancablao , and @beyondyoga for all the help that your doing right now to HCBC.

Unfortunately, my time is getting wasted trying to upload some photos, and am super tired right now, it's past 7 pm now and still struggling to post this blog, ='(. I had set up an auto upvote temporarily so I don't miss to show support and I also followed @hivecebubloggers curation trail, you can check the link on our page and also @asean.hive 's curation trail. Crossed my fingers I can go out tomorrow and be able to do some more Hive work. ='(
