One of our clients, The American Red Cross wrote us the following letter...the kind of letter we love getting! Read it for yourself...I left you a little note at the end.
Hi Guys,
I just wanted to share a little about what we are doing with the items we purchased from ESP4all. Also because of the great prices on the hats/gloves/backpacks we were able to get an additional Wii game for the therapy program. Thanks so much for all your help!
Service to Armed Forces Grant Approved!
This will be the first year that we submitted a grant for Service to Armed forces program at our chapter. And yesterday it was announced that we were approved! The grant focuses on two areas, VA Hospitals and deploying soldiers.
For the VA Hospital in Knoxville and Des Moines, Nintendo Wii’s were requested for their therapy programs. At the Des Moines VA “Going Home” backpacks will be developed for patients leaving the hospital. Of the 3,600 the Central Iowa Red Cross will focus on those whose resources are limited. The determination will be made by the social worker on site at the VA. The VA has reported that 20% of all
discharged veterans receiving inpatient care would fall into this category for assistance. Backpacks will include a water bottle, phone card, blanket, hygiene kit, socks, first aid kit, gloves and a stocking cap.
The second focus is on the service men and women deploying, and their families. We have seen a large surge of soldiers deploying, and we want to be at each deploying briefing to support them. We were approved for printing costs of our “Get To Know Us” brochures and also informational magnets.
