FW: Disaster Alert: You can help tsunami survivors.

 

With the number of dead rising to 80,000, and millions left homeless,

the tsunami that hit Southeast Asia on Sunday will continue to claim

victims if lifesaving assistance is not brought to the disaster areas

quickly. Your urgent help is needed.

 

Mercy Corps, a partner of our do-good family of Web sites, has

mobilized its global emergency team -- including sending humanitarian

aid workers who are now working on the scene -- as they engage in a

rapid, lifesaving response. Contaminated water and disease are

placing survivors at risk, and needs such as edible food and basic

shelter are top priorities as the days grow since the disaster.

 

You can help Mercy Corps deliver lifesaving aid and assistance. A

contribution of any size can make a real difference in what many

believe will be the largest relief effort ever mobilized. Your

assistance will aid survivors who are struggling to locate loved

ones, while their own lives remain at risk from disease and infection.

 

Disaster Strikes Communities Without Warning

 

Without forewarning, waves reaching to 30 feet high and moving at

speeds up to 500 mph crashed into beaches, homes and businesses early

Sunday morning in areas ranging from Thailand to Somalia. Generated

by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake, the largest in 40 years, the tsunami

quickly moved inland, striking coastal cities and burying entire

communities under raging floodwaters.

 

Mercy Corps is able to take decisive action for survivors of this

disaster after working in many areas of Southeast Asia, including

India and Indonesia, for years. A world leader in humanitarian

relief, Mercy Corps works with local organizations to ensure that the

needs of children and families are being met.

 

Please help Mercy Corps support families across Southeast Asia,

tragically stricken by disaster during this holiday season, as they

recover and rebuild their lives. Even as we mourn the victims, we

must stand side-by-side with survivors.

 

Sincerely,
