We are appealing to your organization, the Tsikot.com to help out in any way you can. TACP is not in anyway compelling the Tsikot.com members to help out in this project. Any donations for the project will definitely be appreciated. Also, if Tsikot.com as an organization, would want to join the Kapuso: Give a Gift-Alay sa Batang Pinoy Program, just get in touch with me thru PM. I will recommend you guys to the Operations Manager of the Foundation.

Lastly, we would prefer donations in kind rather than giving donations in cash. TACP will not accept donations in cash. If you would donate money to this project, it would appreciated if you go to the Foundation directly.

For any donations for this particular cause, you may either get in touch with me thru PM or call me at 09198179985.

Hoping that Tsikot.com can help out this cause or better yet, join this particular Foundation.

Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas to Tsikot.com!

-Martin Estrella
Vice President, Toyota Auto Club of the Philippines.
