(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 30, 2009 ) New York -- Natural disasters have devastated parts of The Philippines, Indonesia and the Samoas in the last few days, and CMMB (Catholic Medical Mission Board) is busy gathering and sending medical supplies to those left homeless and sick because of these events. The organization is accepting donated antibiotics, cough and cold medicines, analgesics, anti-diarrheal medicines and medical supplies from pharmaceutical companies and medical supply companies who would like to help.
