2.5 Weeks Out

Dear jay, It’s now been 2.5 weeks since Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines causing extreme devastation and tragic loss of life. Stories have begun emerging from the disaster zone – tragic stories and stories of heroism. Families are working to cope with the trauma and brace for the long process of rebuilding. I need your help to help them. If you’ve already given to ARC or another organization providing relief, thank you! If you haven’t given yet, please consider a contribution for families in the Philippines by supporting our relief efforts. Our team has been busy on the ground in Tacloban since a few days after the disaster. They’ve focused their efforts outside the city in a place called Dulag. They’re providing lifesaving support to thousands of people. They’ve distributed emergency food rations and hygiene kits. They’re providing support and medical supplies to a group of local doctors operating a mobile clinic. The team is already working to help people begin recovering. We’ve distributed emergency shelter kits and provided tools, nails and other materials to help families put up solid shelters. We’re also working to clear roads and have built a temporary bridge in order to allow farmers and merchants to access local markets to sell their goods and support themselves. We’ve seen this before. The process of recovery is long. And families affected by Typhoon Haiyan will continue to need help long after the cameras and the media have moved on. It’s so important that we have you on-board. Will you make a donation now to provide lifesaving aid and help survivors get started with recovery? A gift of $20, $50 or $100 – anything you can manage – will save lives. Thank you so much for your continued support. Sincerely, -Daniel Daniel Wordsworth President, American Refugee Committee P.S. You can trust us to put your money to good work. ARC has a long history of responding to disasters like this. And we receive 4-stars from Charity Navigator and an ‘A+’ rating from CharityWatch.
