AFA Donates $100,000 To 8 Days Of Hope Hurricane Relief
TUPELO, Mississippi, October 27, 2005 - American
Family Association (AFA) has given $100,000 to 8
Days of Hope, a project coordinated by Steve Tybor,
Jr., of Buffalo , N.Y. , and his son, Steve III of
Tupelo , Miss. to help those in greatest need restore
their homes damaged by hurricane Katrina.
“We are happy to announce our decision to
donate $100,000 to this cause,” said AFA Founder
and Chairman Donald E. Wildmon.
“These funds were given by our supporters
for this cause. All the funds given to us in support
of Katrina victims will be used to help those victims,” Wildmon
said. “AFA isn’t taking a penny, even
for administration.”
Through AFA’s coordination of an RV-donation
drive for hurricane victims, AFA supporters have
given 50 RVs valued at an estimated half a million
dollars to victims for use as temporary housing during
the rebuilding stage. These RVs were gifts, not loans.
The 8 Days of Hope project is a major relief effort
being put together by volunteers who are willing
to use their gifts and talents to help the victims
of Katrina. The project begins on Saturday, December
10, and concludes on Sunday, December 18. The project
will work through and with local churches in the
coast area of Mississippi .
The goal is to bring together 500 volunteers from
all over the country who are offering their craftsmanship,
talents and money. These volunteers will work in
roofing, replacing windows and drywall, painting
and other chores. The emphasis is to help those who
have been hit the hardest and have no money and no
insurance to help them.
American Family Association is a pro-family
advocacy organization with over two million online
supporters.
