As stated from the Typhoon Morakot Relief press:

"ShelterBox is responding to Typhoon Morakot after tens of thousands of people have been left stranded in the storm’s wake. During the past several days, the storm has passed over the Philippines, Taiwan and mainland China, leaving a trail of destruction.

High winds, flooding and mudslides have left thousands in need of emergency shelter. Reports state that 50,000 people are stranded and flooding has submerged many homes in Taiwan, nearly 1 million people have been evacuated and 6,000 homes have been destroyed in the Fujian Province, China and 13,000 people have been displaced in the Zambales Province in the Philippines.  Authorities are describing the situation as a calamity. Typhoon Morakot has brought with it a record amount of rainfall with close to 2.5 metres falling on Taiwan.

ShelterBox Founder Tom Henderson stated: ‘With each ShelterBox containing a 10-person tent, blankets, water purification and cooking equipment, basic tools, a stove and other essential equipment, we not only provide people with emergency shelter provision but also the tools to start rebuilding their lives.' "

Each complete ShelterBox costs $1,000.

Let's all work together to reach the goal of fundraising $1,000 so we can ship one complete ShelterBox to those affected by Typhoon Morakot and in need of shelter and equipment to survive!
