OT: Press Relief: UAE to Expand Focus of Disaster Relief to Military

[Guest guest]

This Press Release came out last week thought I should pass it along here with

an update: I (as the UAE) am soliciting sprays for the first box to go to Kabul-

their container homes smell of dirty laundry and field artillery he's says and

cleaning with Pinesol doesnt get it.....sprays for the air: respiratory

(conifers/pines), some sleepy time blend maybe, and some for alert time! No bugs

there but are in other areas he can send bug sprays to FOB's. He will use and

dessiminate the first box then let me know what is most useful then we will know

what they like. There are 60,000 troops at SPA Phoenix they call it- because

they have AC!! hot water showers, good food, and nice digs-containers stacked so

they call Lego Land. I think if we can help just some of them with aromatherapy

it will make it better!!

 

Thanks for your support. I will have his journal on the site shortly for those

that care to read about the daily life of a soldier. I will keep you posted,

spread the word, keep the faith!!

United Aromatherapy Effort to Expand Focus of Disaster Relief to

Military.......Your Help Needed Now!

 

Founder and Director of the United Aromatherapy Effort, Inc. (UAE)

www.unitedaromatherapy.org Sylla Sheppard - Hanger has announced a new and very

personal campaign to refocus the energies of the UAE to include our military

personnel who are currently at war, serving overseas and here in America. The

UAE would like to see all military personnel and their families receive

emotional and physical support through aromatherapy, massage and other

modalities. In her typical spirited fashion Sheppard-Hanger is looking to go

big and partner the UAE with the USO. The goal is to provide comforts of home

away from home for our troops and to help those involved in our country's worst

tragedy, war! War is about the worst disaster imaginable and the complexity of

the task is much larger than our beginnings with the World Trade Center Disaster

or any of the Gulf hurricanes the UAE has ever helped with. However, please know

that the UAE will continue to honor and serve first responders needs for any

critical natural disasters or other incidents just as we always have.

 

Sheppard-Hanger's beloved nephew, Maj. James Baucom left for Afghanistan

recently and is now serving his duty in Camp Phoenix, outside of Kabal. There

are few people who are not directly touched by the current war in Iraq and

Afghanistan. All of us know someone who is affected by the war and many of us

have loved ones, friends, and neighbors over there. Spirit has moved

Sheppard-Hanger to support her nephew and all of those put in harms way. She

knows that this will be a huge task but intends to be there as the USO says

" until every one comes home. " The help and talents of many are making it

possible for the UAE to file and submit their application for designation as a

501c3 charity. There are also high hopes within the UAE that a USO partnership

will make it possible to support our troops more directly. A determination of

these designations should be known sometime this fall.

 

This USO partnership proposal could involve teams or individuals that offer

seated massage, aromatherapy and other services in Veterans Hospitals, Military

Centers or Family Support Centers. The USO makes USO2GO kits and the UAE is

looking at putting something together with a couple of blends for stress,

fatigue, focus, etc. Your ideas and input are critical in helping us establish

what items might be most viable for such a kit. The UAE is supported by a

community of caring people and we need your creativity, input, donations and

heartfelt support to take on this mission. Once the USO makes it possible,

Sheppard-Hanger is even ready to take a group into the direct areas of conflict

where our soldiers are involved in combat and enduring incredible physical and

emotional stress. It is obvious that her determination, passion and courageous

intentions need our support.

http://www.uso.org/whatwedo/usoprograms/uso2go scroll down and click on

contents to see what they contain, how could we support these kits with

aromatherapy? perhaps we create a new kit, or adopt a soldier or a unit. At

least for now we are adopting Jim Baucom and he can disseminate from his " digs "

(which are a 8x10 container with AC!! in the 110 F heat,)....

 

You may send support, ideas, help by lining up large companies that can donate
