The cries for help have been heard…

We are on our way!!!


Rescue Task Force’s (RTF) “boots-the-ground,” team a will be leaving for Haiti on Monday, January 18th, 2010.

RTF’s veteran volunteer Darryl Hall along with Chris Simmons, Jose Garcia and John McRae are packing up their gear and heading into the devastated Port-au-Prince to bring some much needed immediate relief.

“The immediate needs the first few days after mother nature strikes are a given – basic food, water, shelter, sanitation along with anti diarrhea medicines and Tylenol. Within days disease and cholera set in and the needs change quickly. RTF there, on the ground, will assess the needs, purchase the supplies and do direct distribution.”

Disasters – Earthquakes, Tsunami and Typhoons

Oct 1

Posted by admin in Disaster Response, General, Information, Needed

RTF (Rescue Task Force) is prepared to respond to the tsunami and earthquake as part of its ongoing relief efforts in Southeast Asia.

Philippines:
In the Philippines, RTF and WER (World Emergency Relief) are wiring cash aid to our valuable WER partner of many years devastated by the typhoon that has claimed hundreds of lives and left hundreds of thousands homeless.

“Sending cash is the quickest way we can help right now,” related Gary Becks, CEO.  “Our project partner has an immediate need for food, drinking water and medicine (for cholera, cough, colds, first aid, and also vitamins). They also need clothes and footwear, blankets and towels.”

Over 50 children and workers at the orphanage that WER supports had to be evacuated by rubber raft through polluted water. (Photo upper left corner.)

Flood waters are above 7 feet high, and the center has at least four feet of standing water. The demand for temporary housing limits where the children and workers can stay. It may be months before they can return to their center.

RTF and WER are committed to helping “our” orphans. Many fled abusive homes and now receive love and care in a safe environment. Their hope is made possible only because of caring people like you.

The needs in the Philippines are overwhelming. Over 400,000 are seeking some kind of assistance at aid shelters. Another typhoon is expected to hit within 24 hours.

We need your help to continue giving these children “a living chance”. Without your compassionate assistance, we can do just so much before we exhaust our limited resource funds.

Can you / will you please help… Each gift will buy critically needed food, water and medicine for the kids in addition to clothes, footwear, blankets and towels.

Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you for being a treasured partner and for your faithful support during so many disasters. I pray that you will help to continue our partnership for these Philippine kids.
