Just wanted to update everyone. I have been in contact with Robb just a short time ago. His first full day there was a good success and he has made a few trips to and from. The disaster is terrible and the need is great. The area that he was at the first day already had a lot of aid reaching it he was able to get a couple loads to people in need. Including med kits, water, toiletries, sheets, teddy bears, and clothes. anything that he has been told is needed. . He was told about some small towns North from where he was and reloaded and is now driving to that area to try and reach the most in need.
He is still very up beat and is doing great. He is very excited about the response to his trip. The amount coming in is allowing him to stay longer. It looks like he is spending around $1500 a day there. We have already collected enough to keep him going for a few days. He is very thankful that he is able to do this.
He mentioned that he has run into many westerners that were there on vacation and have decided to spend what they had left from their vacation money to help the people. Very cool I think.
He wanted to make sure I again thank everyone that has sent donations and well wishes and for allowing him the opportunity to help the people that he has grown to love over the last year he has lived there.
Thanks again.
Regards
Dan
