CARD MRI ties up with Moreta Shipping Lines to aid Odette victims

Posted on January 18, 2022

In line with the donation drive of CARD MRI for the victims of Typhoon Odette, CARD MRI teamed up with Moreta Shipping Lines to deliver 14 boxes of in-kind goods to Talisay, Cebu on December 28, 2021.

To help those affected by the typhoon, several shipping lines offered free cargo shipping to transport donations from various groups and companies. Meeting the requirements for the in-kind donations on hand, CARD MRI tapped Moreta Shipping Lines to bring the donations on a port-to-port basis. Through the collaboration, in-kind donations were swiftly delivered to typhoon-hit communities in Cebu.

From December 24 to 28, CARD MRI gathered donations composed of necessities such as food, clothing, and hygiene products. Cash donations were also accumulated during the drive, involving CARD MRI offices located at City Subdivision and M. Paulino St. in San Pablo City, Laguna.

“Besides our cash assistance through the different products of CARD MRI, being able to give essentials that families can immediately use, especially when almost everything was wiped out by Odette, is a step towards the immediate recovery of our fellowmen in Cebu. We hope that these items will be of use to the families,” CARD MRI Managing Director Aristeo A. Dequito said on the initiatives taken by the organization.

Helping Hand

Besides the donation drive, CARD MRI started to receive monetary donations to help the victims starting December 22, 2021. Accumulating a total of PhP 2,452,814 as of January 12, 2022, the donations came from partner organizations and individuals of CARD MRI.

“The destruction caused by Typhoon Odette is surely unfathomable, especially as a lot of lives are affected, but through the combined efforts of organizations and individuals extending their helping hand, we can holster up those affected to stand back up once again. We Filipinos are always ready to help those in need,” Dequito further said on the willingness of the Filipinos to help and the spirit of bayanihan.

CARD MRI, through CARD Inc. (A Microfinance NGO), is still accepting monetary donations for the victims of Typhoon Odette. For more information, message CARD Inc.’s official Facebook Page, @CARDIncOfficial.
