MEDIA RELEASE

Dear Friends,

Sen. Josh Green

The Samoan people are an important part of Hawaii’s multicultural tapestry, and most of us here have close friends or family who are Samoan.

Less than 48 hours ago a devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck Samoa, leaving over a hundred people dead and thousands more homeless.

Samoa’s recovery from this disaster will be long and difficult, but we in Hawaii can help bring needed relief now.

Please join me and my wife Jaime in contributing to the relief effort today.

The Samoan people truly need our help.

Donations may be sent to:

American Red Cross – American Samoa
P.O. Box 2635
Pago Pago, American Samoa 96799

or

American Red Cross – Disaster Relief Fund
Hawaii State Chapter
4155 Diamond Head Road
Honolulu, HI 96816

or call 1-800-REDCROSS and donate either to their national or international relief fund.

Sincerely,
Josh Green M.D.
State Senate
District 3, West Hawaii
