PlanetShoes Gives Customers the Opportunity to Donate to UNICEF in Support of Typhoon Haiyan Relief
Waltham, MA (PRWEB) November 16, 2013 -- PlanetShoes, an online shoe and accessories retailer from Waltham, MA, is collecting donations to UNICEF to provide relief to victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. The typhoon, one of the most powerful on record, has negatively affected millions through death, displacement and destruction. UNICEF has stated that over 4 million children may be at risk.
With three major crises in a span of two months—from war to an earthquake to this typhoon—the Philippines are in need of desperate help, and UNICEF’s resources are stretched thin. “PlanetShoes is proud to offer a means to help those suffering in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan,” said Phil Meynard, President of Planet, Inc. “A simple $10 donation will help bring safe water, hygiene supplies, food and shelter to millions affected by this disaster.”
