I have hundreds of people that want to correspond directly one-on-one with families in need in Hurricane Mitch stricken areas. These are people that have already donated financially through national releif organizations. What they would like to do now is to sponsor a family directly and correspond one on one to find out individual needs of each family member that they may be able to help with. Care packages will be sent directly to each family through whatever means available. This releif method is not really meant as emergency releif but more long term releif and individualized attention to individualized needs. Each volunteer family will commit to a one year time period of correspondence and helping with the families needs. I am in need of more names and addresses of families in need. Information needed include: Familiy members names, ages, individual circumstances, clothing or shoe sizes, medical neeeds, birthdates for special birthday packages,a shipping address or pick up location to ship packages to. This program was implemented in the mid 70s with U.S. families and Polish families during their problems. It was very successful and many individualized needs were cared for in very personal ways. Great friendships were formed and lasting memories.
I have names coming in from several diverse missionary and medical teams and personal contacts but can't seem to keep up with the demand. Isn't that great :) If you can help me, please send needy families names and addresses to: Tawnya Reid 650 Alamosa DriveSparks Nevada, 89436 or email them to:digital@intercomm.com Thank you so much
