A personal FB-message on Nov 10, 2013:

"My heart weeps for Leyte... these past few days I've been silently praying and felt powerless watching the disaster enfold from the sidelines, as the news came in bit by bit. Leyte is the home of my relatives and of my heart, visiting there since the age of 3. To see it catastrophically devastated like this is beyond painful. Through information of someone else yesterday I got the liberating news I was waiting for; the damage in my mother's hometown Tab-Ang, Matalom, appears to be limited to fallen trees, no human casualties. I am extremely grateful that my relatives & friends are most likely safe, however we haven't had direct contact yet due to the electricity outfall and I feel deep sympathy for the many other people still waiting for a sign of life from their families...

I thank the Dutch government for already giving 2 million euros of financial aid and am grateful for all the efforts worldwide from and to relief aid organizations in their quest to help the victims & survivors of typhoon Haiyan. Latest estimates: >10.000 people dead, 300.000 people homeless, 4.300.000 people affected... Please make these numbers stop rising, God, and please let the world join hands to rebuild Leyte, which belonged already to the poorest rural regions of the Philippines. My heartfelt prayers go out to give strength to all the organizations, governments & initiatives helping, to all the survivors, to all those waiting to hear from their families and to all those who lost their loved ones... May all those who are lost rest in eternal peace with our Lord †

As an individual I want to do my part by organizing a Benefit Event through the Sheryl Lynn Foundation and I just booked my flight last night to visit Leyte at the end of next month. Hopefully I will be able to help out in any way and also bring highly needed financial aid, as Leyte faces a long recovery process. I will soon update you on this event and truly hope for your support, as we can all join hands to help the victims of this massive destruction. In the meantime I hope many people will help as much as they can, as soon as they can, for example through donations to Philippine Red Cross, CARE, Cordaid Mensen in Nood, UNICEF, Save the Children or other organizations. Thank you for all the kind prayers & concerned messages of support I've received from many of you. Let us all continue to pray and wish for the fast & full recovery of Leyte and the Philippines!"
