 Natures Victims - Please Donate to The Red Cross

 Introduction / Attention Getter:

Last Saturday, when most of us were fast asleep, people in Pakistan were running for their lives. As soon as I heard the news about the earthquake, I rushed to call my sister in  sheer panic. When I finally did manage to connect with her, it was a big relief for me... She, her family and her town had luckily escaped major damage. But they were sitting out on their front lawns in the freezing cold, waiting for aftershocks… yes they lived through 27 of them!

Others were not so lucky. Whole towns and villages had been flattened. Several schools had crumbled down crushing and burying alive hundreds of children.  At least 70,000 people were crushed and buried alive to death and 2.5 million rendered homeless without food, warm clothes or shelter in the freezing rain and cold of their hostile terrain.

 That’s Why I am asking you to donate to the red cross

 Need:

In just this past year, we have seen ….Millions of people die, … millions more rendered homeless:

• First it was the  boxing day Tsunami in Asia which impacted almost the entire world.

• Then there were several floodings, forest fires in BC itself followed  by mudslides/landslides,

•  Hurricanes Katrina and others,

•  Then this South Asian earth quake to top it off.

• As you all know, we in Vancouver are still waiting for our big one to strike.

I know every school year I prepare an emergency relief kit for my son at school.

I know most of you do have a torch light, candles, batteries, water and some edibles stashed away somewhere in your homes…

 Satisfaction:

But is that enough,

Yes Red Cross is everywhere:

• They have helped in the Tsunami relief.

• They were their for the Hurricane victims.

• They are right now working hard to pull out people from the Earth quake debris.

• They were there during the forest fires in BC, during the mudslides.

• They will be there to help you when our Big earthquake strikes Vancouver.

 Visualization

For

When you are lying helplessly buried and injured, slowly suffocating under tons of rubble,

Or when you are sitting on the roof top of your house clutching your kids and pets, with strong flood currents swirling angrily all around you, seeing dead bodies and debris floating by , and waiting endlessly…

That chugging red cross boat or their strong, warm hands will be there to pull you to safety and hope once again.

Conclusion:

So I urge you to donate generously to the Red Cross. Most of you have just celebrated Thanksgiving, and are now preparing for the Christmas season, It is the season for giving.

 So open your hearts and wallets and donate to the Red Cross. With the intensive geological activity going around… as seen through earth quakes, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, floodings, more earthquakes... our big one is not very far behind.

 Go and give to the Red Cross Now, to enable them be there for you. Thank you.
