An Urgent Plea

Dear Champions for Burma,

I have had an urgent request from Steve Gumaer for the people served by Partners Relief and Development. Funding is essential to provide food, medicine and supplies to 31,000 recently displaced people whose homes and villages have recently been destroyed by the Burma Army.

Steve wrote: “I attach the delivery report. It shows just one of many deliveries we have done in Shan and Kachin State in the past two months. We have continued our regular budget work at the same time as we have given extra funding to these critical needs. I'm not sure how to sustain this work, this line of relief, but as long as we can, we will. Those people have nobody else to lean on and it feels more like a moral duty to do everything we can than a neat program. You know what I mean? ... I know that if the people of Burma could thank you, they would do it too - in four part harmony with big smiles, they would say Tablu Doma! (Thank you very much!)”

Please respond to this desperate situation if you are able to help.
1. Click on partnersworld.org/usa ;
2. mail a check to: Partners Relief and Development, 2066 Redlands, CA 92373 ;
3. donate to: First Presbyterian Church - Midland and mark "Urgent for Partners Relief and Development"

Please storm heaven with loving prayers for the Shan and Kachin people, and Steve and Oddny Gumaer.

Thank you for being Champions,
Margaret
