Give aid to Myanmar

Gordon Cockett

As the new Outstanding Older American for Maui County, I make a plea for humanity. The people of Myanmar have been devastated by a terrible cyclone and the loss of life has been estimated upwards of 10,000. The living have a horrible situation, not only with their grief for lost ones, but also with the devastation of their country. No power, no clean drinking water, no medical attention for those living out in the country. And on it goes.

My plea is for all of you who receive this message to have your churches and other organizations start a fund drive immediately to help these poor people who suffer tremendous losses through no fault of their own. Please do what you can to help!
