I'm writing this post after OK from Michael.
Sorry for my poor English.

Usually Christmas brings happy time to families. Not at this year. At this Christmas house of Siamroads guide on Philippines - Jay-em - has been totally destroyed by Ursula tycoon :( 

Jay-em is 22 yo, second old kid in family of total 6 kids and 2 parents. His parents are farmers. At Siamroads we already collecting money for to help him. I never did it before, but now I ask you to help as well, since at Siamroads alone we can't collect enough money. Please join us and make some donation if you can. Let's do Christmas miracle for family with 6 kids.

The best and direct way for donations: PayPal. Please make donations in USD or pesos. Jay-em's address for donations via PayPal jmsales189@gmail.com

Please help!

Moses, I do not not normally use PayPal but I decided to make a small donation.

To pay 1000 baht PayPal wanted to charge me almost 200 baht, is there not a better way to send the money (via yourself?)

Aside if most of our contributors could send a small donation, we wouldn't really miss it with the added advantage we could count our blessings and feel better at this festive season.

Traveller, I sent money via Paypal yesterday. It cost me another 10% to send but I figured it was worth it as it would be the easiest to get to him the fastest. 

Unfortunately no more cheap way: it is international transfer, other ways will be even more expensive.

To make wire payments/transfers with Transferwise is quite cheap - nowhere near the fees charged by PayPal. If you want to do this guy a real favour you ask for his bank account details and post it here.

on small amounts they takes even more than PayPal (it takes 13.5%, PP takes 8%)

As per Jay-em, he got "from strangers" $425. Thank you a lot Collin W., you send $300.

In total (with Siamroads) is collected around $900. Our goal is to collect $2500: it will be enough for to build up simple house with walls and roof for to protect family from rain and wind.

Please donate via PayPal (you don't have to have account there for to donate): Jay-em's email for donation via PayPal jmsales189@gmail.com

PayPal fees seem competitive for modest transfers, but rather obscene for larger sums.     I used PayPal.   

Perhaps anyone kind enough to send a much larger sum could contact the recipient to discuss alternatives.

Update on this history. We were able to collect $1600.

Jayem is back to Boracay for work and for to save some more money. Family started to build new house. They still have not enough money (need $900 more). So, if you can - please help.

Sorry for bad quality photos - they were taken on cheap phone.
