In the picture above is Doug Baldwin Jr., a National Football League player of Seattle Seahawks carrying a Philippine flag. He is not a 100% Filipino but in his heart lies a love for his fellows. His family lives in Tacloban which was the most devastated city in the Philippines. 

This was a photo taken before the game and he did this to raise help for the people in Tacloban. They raise $24,000 for the victims who have been hungry, sick and homeless for days. 

In his Twitter account, he said, "In the US, we are blessed with comfort other don't have. My family needs your help. Even your prayers will do."

What he did really melts my heart. I think this proves that even when you are a thousand miles away from your family and people who needs your help, distance doesn't matter at all if you really wanted to help. I am proud of Doug because even if he did not grow up here, he still cares for the people affected by the typhoon. 

A huge thank you Seahawks and to everyone who sent Philippines help. Be safe everyone.
