estimated wietght 150 lbs  contents 1 pc  dry food  canned goods clothing toys  

  i want to find a afordable way to ship from door to door from vancouver to the philipines pampanga ...

does any one know of a good affordable company that does this...

yes ive tried google but with so many hits and the costs so prohibitive

im trying to find a company that doesnt do shipping by wieght i know thiers a couple of them but dont know the names or contact numnbers...

and if u know of anyone way to help raise some money for my friend in the philipines her house is needing lots of fixing up.. ie electric connection instead of a 60 foot extension cord...  water hook ups   a real toilet instead of a bucket..  a bunk bed for the kids instead of the floor... or all 3 of the family sleeping in a single bed :(  i was shocked at the conditions for many people.

thankfully she has her own house and land unlike many other family's.. but the house is badly in need of  repairs cracked mortar small holes in the bricks...  badly wired electric  using extension cords... windows with no glass...  sighs... times like this i wish i was a rich philanthropist... how on earth can  this happen anywhere in todays day and age ... i know its rough all over the world but  to live like they do :( no fridge  to keep ur food safe... damn... i could never live in this type of conditions day in and day out.. but sadly thousands if not millions do :( ...

 i care for this lady and would like to help her and her kids to improve their life...with things that we take for granted every day...[span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"] [span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"]your [/span][/span]recommendations are appreciated...   i could not imagine sleeping on cardboard cause u dont have enough beds  i could never imagine shitting in a bucket everyday ... damn i could never survive a life of having to haul in pails of water to fill a tub. and use the water to bathe 3 people  and to do laundry in that tub ... cooking ur food over a wood fire...  with smoke that sometimes fills the whole house, if the wind blows the wrong way... a roof made out of tin  that leaks  and conducts heat...  work is a laugh lets not talk about the options for these woman u dont want to know it  :( but many choices r simple either to work in a bar as a prostitute or if ur lucky get a somputer work online as a adult model... education.. :( if u have the moeny u can get a education no money no education... medical  sighs we have it so damned good in our respective countries is it any wonder every one else in the world wants to come to our respective countires...

Good luck with your project, Orik.  Sorry, I don't know the name of any shipping companies.
 
 As for the fundraising- car wash, bake sale, bottle drive-- start with friends, neighbours, co-workers..
 You going to church these days?  Your church would likely support the idea of a bake sale/coffee sale/freezie sale after service one weekend.
 
 The kids' school makes a killing selling Jumbo Freezies and Bottled Water ($1 each) after running club.  The Freezies are really cheap by the case...

fyi

  unless Vancouver has a large Phillipino population you probably will have difficulty finding a company that will ship other than by air........a company needs to accumulate enough freight to fill a cargo container  

  also remember the receipant may have to pay duty on the other end

  talk to someone at the local Catholic church, they may be able to help
