Friends Disaster Service - Texas Area
Dear Friend,
I have been offline for a couple of weeks. Just want to touch base with all and ask that you respond that you have gotten my email because I have had to recreate my address book. First of all, Tom's knee surgery went well and he is home recouping with his new knee. Pray for him as he starts physical therapy.

Dear Friend,
Friend Tom has informed me that the Friends Disaster Service - Texas Area requests Donations of time, talent and money for the upcoming November 17 - 21 continuation of clean-up and rebuilding after Hurricane Ike. The total recovery time in the Galveston area from this disaster is estimated at 3-5 years.
The emphasis of the aid in cleanup and reconstruction will go to those homeowners who were uninsured or under insured, and especially those who are disabled or elderly. Tom reported that FEMA makes a maximum $28,800 to homeowners who had damage to property, however the average payment has been approximately $1,500 - 8,000 per household. A video showing the damage and the work being done should be available shortly.
To volunteer your time and talent, please contact Tom at the addresses or phone below. The Galveston Airport may still be damaged, and if Friends fly to Houston, arrangements will be made for pick up. Arrangements will be also made for volunteers to stay at the church. To donate funds to help with further cleanup and reconstruction, please also send checks to the address below. Friend Tom is a member of Lighthouse Fellowship, League City, TX which is affiliated with Mid-America Yearly Meeting.
In Friendship,
QiN-Hombre
