Do not forget about tomorrow's fundraiser for Philippines relief at Porto

Make time. Drop off a check. You've got at least a ten spot of Uncle Sam's best green pocket liner you'd just waste on candy and YooHoo chocolate drink anyway. C'mon Jersey City, people need help now. Not at the end of the month, now. We now pay forward the help we got after Superstorm Sandy.

Porto is located at 286 First St. and Johnny's gonna draw you a map to show how easy it is to drop by between 6-9pm and make a donation. You'd probably trip on people standing in line to get in it's so easy. Mayor Steve Fulop is going to be there (does this guy even sleep?) along with City Council President Rolando Lavarro who has been out in front on aiding the Philippines since Super Typhoon Haiyan hit last week. There will also be a representative from the American Red Cross.

Seriously, so easy

Here's a way you can help the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines

Thursday, Porto Lounge, 286 First St., will be holding a fundraiser to help the victims of Haiyan. Some background for our readers, this super typhoon, Haiyan, was the biggest most powerful storm to hit the EARTH since 1979. People need help and they need a lot of it. We also know that Jersey City Council President Rolando Lavarro has been organizing help so you can also contact his office at (201)-547-5268.

As for Thursday, come by the Porto Lounge and write a check to the American Red Cross, with “Philippines typhoon and flood” written in the memo. An American Red Cross representative will be present. Your help is desperately needed. This storm was far far worse than our own Superstorm Sandy just over a year ago. Imagine Sandy with 200 mph winds for 8 or 9 hours. There you go. People need help, as we Garden Staters needed help. Let's show them what we can do.
