#TyphoonOdette: Shop, dine, and workout for a cause
It's been almost a month since Typhoon Rai, locally known as Typhoon Odette, badly tore through the communities and regions of Surigao, Bohol, Cebu, Palawan, and Leyte in December 2021, and many of those affected are still struggling to find food and water.
If you're wondering how to be more helpful in these trying times, one great way is to support brands giving back.
Here's a list of brands that pledge to donate proceeds from their sales to help with the relief efforts for the victims of Typhoon Odette.
Artisanat Handmade
Womenswear brand Artisanat Handmade is donating all profits from their limited edition Lucy Top (P1,295) from their Holiday collection to communities affected by Typhoon Odette in Bohol.
Donations are also welcome thru GCash (0917-3191782, Rica Rosario Borja) or BDO (006240101418, Rica Rosario Borja).
Golden Monstera
Pre-order a set of 5 (P3,500) or 10 (P5,000) Myan Bangles from Golden Monstera and you get to help buy construction materials that will be needed in rebuilding Siargao. 100% of the sales will be donated for the said cause.
Strange Mercy

When you buy jewelry from their All That Glitters pieces from their Floralia and Themyscira line, all proceeds will go to the said community in Cebu.
"With your help, keepers of a centuries-old handloom weaving technique, and makers of our Padayon brand’s modern malongs and blankets, may slowly rebuild their homes and lives," they wrote.
Yoga for a cause
DJ and yoga teacher Katrina Razon is hosting a benefit yoga event this Jan. 15, 5 pm via Zoom.
No need to purchase everything, just send her a screenshot of your donation to @SaveSiargao or savesiargao.com and wait for the Zoom link.
