MMNA shows support for victims of Hurricane Ike

September 22, 2008

Hurricane Ike devasted a large portion of coastal Texas. This storm, which stuck the Houston area on September 12, caused many deaths as well as damage estimated at near $20 billion.

"Hurricane Ike has been a huge disaster, not only in Houston and Galveston, but all the way to Cincinnati in Ohio. Many people still don't have power in their homes," said Anil Maheshwari, President, MMNA Southwest Chapter. He further added, "On our part, we will contribute $500 from the local (Southwest) chapter of MMNA to this effort."

MMNA president, Seema Rathi, said, "I have been in touch with a few families and students in houston area last week. It is unfortunate the inconvenience but the good thing is all are safe! We thank God for his grace on our pariwar always." She further added, "From national MMNA, we will release $500 to support the victims."

All MMNA members are encouraged to show support for this cause. You can contact Dhiraj Rathi at Sewa International, a non-profit organization.
