CNN PRODUCER NOTE Virginia native jcbranscomb parents are currently in the Philippians. With Typhoon Hayian (Yolanda) she is worried, since it has been two days since she spoke with her dad, on November 7 at 9:29pm. She knows her parents are survivors, as her mother lived through WWII, and her father fought in the Vietnam War, but she is still concerned. “I am posting this iReport because I’m worried about their health and well-being. We’ve been trying to tell them to stay in the states because of their health but they are determined to live in Leyte because it’s my mother’s home and they love it there.”
– CYDFISH7, CNN iReport producer
My parents went back to the Philippines last week to their home in Barangay 110, Utap in Tacloban City, Leyte. I last spoke to my dad a couple of hours before the storm hit. He said that they were going to stay on the second floor of their house. We haven’t heard from them since.
My dad is in his early 70s and is a veteran of the U.S. Navy. My mother is in her mid to late 70s and became a U.S. citizen about 10 years ago. We are worried about her health because a few days before they left to go back, my mom was in the hospital because of COPD. She needs her nebulizer.
Our family is hoping and praying that they are safe and sound. Some of us have not been able to sleep because we are so worried. They are amazing parents, grandparents and great-grandparents and we want them back home in the states safe, healthy, and happy.
