Dear Benefactors,
On behalf of the victims in peril by the earthquake in Nepal, Tu Bi Foundation would like to express our sincere appreciation to our teachers and benefactors for their contributions to “Nepal Earthquake Relief”. We have 1 more week before fundraising end. The money raised will be sent to the American Red Cross (International). Just when lives have not stabilized, 3 weeks later Nepal suffers a second earthquake, a 7.3 magnitude on 05.12.2015. To date over 8,200 people have died … I remember the earthquake and tsunami that happened to Japan in 2011. Tu Bi Foundation was grace with the opportunity to visit the refugee camp and live there for a few days, everyday there were after shock.
Currently in Nepal, hundreds of thousands of families are living in makeshift camps not knowing what will happen in the future, because Nepal was constantly experiencing shock the day after. Hunger, disease, homelessness … people are suffering endlessly!
So far, Tu Bi Foundation has sent $11,000 to the Red Cross, the total amount will be calculated on 05/20/2015. Fortunately, the money we raise will be match by the Red Cross 100%. This morning we received news from Red Cross of the current situation and that the money sent be distributed for tents to cover from the rain and sun, food, water … help victims settle into a centralize camps.
Tu Bi Foundation in Houston has donated $15,000. In Virginia, many supporters have promise to help and Tu Bi is waiting to receive their checks. The money we will raise is $ 5,851. We predict the total donation raise will be approximately $21,000 + Red Cross matching 100%, the final total will be $42,000. Thanks to the contributions of our benefactors, hundreds of families will be comforted and care for …
