Please Help the Victims in New York City!
Dear Friend,
September 11 was one of the most tragic days in our country's history. Thousands of our fellow citizens were killed in New York City, Washington, DC and western Pennsylvania. The most horrifying and devastating of these terrorist attacks occurred at the World Trade Center in New York City.
We, at Mercy-USA for Aid and Development (M-USA), are urgently appealing for your compassion and assistance to these innocent victims. Through the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, and funds setup by New York Governor George Pataki, New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and firefighters' associations, M-USA has already provided $30,000 for food and personal care items and trauma counseling to the victims, their families and the rescue workers.
With your support, M-USA will be able to assist further. We will send any additional funds that we raise through the American Red Cross and The Salvation Army. All donations will go to the fund; no M-USA administration costs will be charged.
Please join us in helping the men, women and children who have survived the World Trade Center attack! Send your contribution today and help relieve their suffering!
