While food, shelter and medical supplies are all critical requirements after any natural disaster, Samaritan’s Purse understands that there are also other – ultimately more important – needs that must be met to facilitate lasting healing.
 
After Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines last November, Jun Anthony Abaloyan was left without a home or employment. Crucial to his sense of self-worth as a father and husband was finding work; to support his family and to begin rebuilding his life ~

The damage done by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines is catastrophic, leaving homes destroyed and at least 580,000 people displaced. More than 2,500 people lost their lives in the record-breaking super storm. Watch as Samaritan’s Purse assesses the hardest-hit areas, distributes necessary supplies such as tarps for shelter, and prays with victims, showing them the hope that comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
