Today was a big day as we continue to deploy our resources, volunteers, and supplies to those in need. Our direct support applications are open on our website. We received requests for assisting with bills, transportation, housing, and heating supplies. The general consensus from the initial applications is that their jobs are gone – restaurants are closed, tourism jobs are on hold, and the economy is rocked to the core. During COVID, these same issues existed, but the government was providing support to individuals in need. Today, the support is on us. Individuals that care and put others first.
Please consider sharing this campaign as we launch into the direct support phase of our mission. We will validate the support needs and share stories along the way. We have met amazing people on the ground that have lost everything and because of your generosity, we will be able to assist hundreds of individuals trying to get back on their feet.
In the attached video, Whit, who owns Helo Air, Inc. and supported from our first day, shares how this all came together as we worked frantically to reach those in need. The helo pilots are the hero in our story, and as we continue into the next phases, will not be forgotten.
