MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to coordinate and provide help, rescue, and compassion during and after disasters and emergencies.
THE ORGANIZATION
The clear consensus is that we must build upon the foundation that we began together. We have a moral imperative to be prepared to respond immediately to the needs of Americans - particularly if our government is ever caught off guard again. My wife, Orly, and I formed a public charity for the common purpose of responding to people in times of disaster. Donations to the 2 Life 18 Foundation, Inc. will go directly to the Katrina Relief Effort. When our work with Katrina Relief is completed, any unused funds will be utilized to respond quickly in times of a national emergency. Our goal is to continue to provide a coordinated privaye sector based “first response” effort in times private sector based “first response” effort in times of national emergencies. As a team, we hope to continue extending help to victims as they rebuild their lives – restoring independence, personal dignity, and reuniting families.
GOAL
Our goal is to partner with existing governmental and relief agencies in order to provide urgently needed evacuation, food, counseling, housing, financial aid, and medicine to victims of Katrina’s wrath. In the aftermath, our organization has been providing ongoing support to displaced families, purchasing homes, paying rent, coordinating food, medical care and transportation to and from the Gulf Coast areas for families wanting to go back to rebuild their homes and lives. 2 Life 18 Help and Rescue has been providing direct assistance to many grassroots organizations that are rebuilding Gulf Coast communities. Our long-term goal is to build on the effective mobilization that we spearheaded as a private-sector based “first response” team immediately in the aftermath of Katrina and to continue to help victims as they rebuild their lives following catastrophic disasters.
