Help Appalachian People Survive

My name is Mary Hendrian. Six years ago my husband Jim and I founded Emergency Aid For Children, a non-profit organization. We called the Michigan chapter H.A.P.S. (Help Appalachian People Survive). Our mission is to make a difference in the lives of those in need in the Appalachian Mountains. We have concentrated on southeastern Kentucky, an area which is one of the poorest in the region. The families have been hard hit by high unemployment in the coal mining and logging industries. Unfortunately too many people are living in poverty.We helped 50 families this year in the following counties of Eastern KY: Letcher, Knott and Johnson. We had help from Teamsters Local 651 out of Lexington, the driver's name was Shively Pierce.

Hi Lizette,
I have to say that I really enjoy getting your emails, they are really entertaining. The information is very helpful and I love everything in it. I hope one day to have my chalet in the mountains of KY. I have given your name to a few of my friends, when they are ready hopefully they will call you. Have a Happy Holiday and thanks for the info.

Sincerely,
Mary Hendrian
