FW: Alert: Hurricane Katrina Relief - Help Feed Children

 

Dear Friend,

 

I think we are all shocked at the devastation caused by Hurricane

Katrina. If you would like to help here is one way you can pitch in.

 

If you know of anyone interested in providing disaster relief for

children affected by Hurricane Katrina, please read the message below and

either e-mail Kelly Minton at kminton or call her at

(805) 338-6271. Kelly is a friend of mine who is very trustworthy. Any

questions about Kelly, please call me at 201-424-8653. Any questions

about this project, please call Kelly.

 

At $40, you can feed 60 children, which is quite amazing. NuSkin is

matching donations, so this $40 would provide meals for 120 children!

They have been feeding many children over the past several years through

their charitable division.

 

I asked a bunch of questions of Kelly to make sure they are legit, and

she sent me some online info and also told me they are chartering a

private plane to take the food down to a staging area in Louisiana where

they will be supported by their partner "Feed The Children." They want

to collect as many donations as possible by 11 p.m. PDT tomorrow

(9/2/05) evening.

 

I am confident after researching this that the money goes directly

towards food which goes directly to the children, with no middle-men

chipping away at it, otherwise I probably would have donated elsewhere.

Also, I would not be passing this e-mail along if I had any doubt of their

trustworthiness. However, please feel free to do your own research.

As you know, unfortunately not all charitable organizations are

trustworthy, but I feel this one is.

 

If you don't get this until after 11 p.m. tomorrow, please donate

anyway. Any amount you can give would be appreciated.

 

You can use the link( better to call by phone ~ link is confusing ~ amarnath )

below, or Kelly can take your information over the phone.

 

1 bag cost of $29.95 (30 meals, matched to 60 meals) and the 2 bag cost of

$39.95 (60 meals, which will be matched to 120 meals).

 

Thanks in advance for your kindness and generosity.

 

Kind regards,

Peter Michel
