Thanks for making it easy to donate and thanks for allowing me to contribute and be sure that the money goes to the right cause (as opposed to salaries to the officers of the various charities).

Hello Charles, what a great job.
We just made a donation to your bankaccount. We hope that you and your people will be able to help as many people as possible and that the money will keep coming in.
Love and good luck,

Hello Charles and Zandra,
Stephanie S. told me about your site and your efforts. I am working on getting more donations for your group here in the US. You guys have done an incredible job!!! You are both proof that it only takes one person (in your case two) to make a difference. Good luck and please let us know what else we can do.
Regards,
Marina and Roger Willis

P.S. We made a small donation on PayPal. Sorry that we could not do more.

wwwooooooo

We just got 1,000,000 Chilean pesos donation (about $2,000 US) from one of our members in Chile to our bank account.

I am speechless at the support, speed, and size of the donations. We will put every bit to work.

By the way, if you PM me I will be happy to give public credit to anyone for donations made, I just want to respect peoples privacy. I just would really like to recognize all those that have given such incredible support to this project.

Hello,
Heard about you through an email blast from Stephanie S.
Thank you for doing what you do. Nice to be able to donate and know that it is going to a group of people who will use every penny of it to help and not line their own pocket with it. Thank YOU! - Mary Miller :D

SCORE!!!!


We just got two provisional licenses to practice medicine in Chile for our doctors from the government.

Our pilot is going to pick them up where they live in Futaluefu in the Patagonia tomorrow morning. They are then going to fly to Puerto Montt where the plane needs to refuel, and at the same time the doctors have to pick up their license in person. Someone at the government health ministry is going to meet them on Saturday, even though the office is not open to formally serve them in person with the licenses. They will then be on their way North to Temuco.

We are crossing our fingers that we might even get some recon flights going tomorrow afternoon as it is summer and we have light to about 8:30 pm, or the limit of when it is legal to fly.

I just found your site. Thanks for your effort. I've had a great love of Chile since my father spent a month fishing the Lakes District in 1986. I've spent many wonderfull days fishing between Coyhaique and Puyehue. I wish I could do more.
Keep it up!

It looks like currently:

We have about 1,100,000 pesos in Chile through deposits at our bank account.
We have about $2,230 US through pay pal.

Our pilot says please keep it going, as we are planning to make the most of every single hour we can in the air.

We also are still going to need medical supplies and other things as soon as our doctors come back in to Cell phone contact and we can get the wish list from them of what is needed on that front.

I need pictures of the aftermath - everything -

all the photos easily found on the web are the same ones that have been floated around all week.

If anyone has compelling images they would like to share, please PM me.

I'm putting together an HTML email to raise awareness for what Charles is doing.

Time is of the essence.

Thanks
