those affected. You have read reports, watched videos of rescues, and viewed photographs of the devastation. Perhaps you or someone you love has been affected and knows firsthand the experiences we watch from afar. All of us at Young Living extend our sympathy and love. Please know that our prayers are with you. The record-breaking rainfall, deadly winds, earthquakes, fatalities, and damage to homes and businesses are overwhelming; so, too, has been the response from people like you. I feel privileged to have our Young Living Foundation take care of members wherever disaster strikes. We not only want to help our members, but we look to help non-members as well. I am proud of the disaster response work we have done across the world and am deeply impressed by those who have stepped up to help with these huge efforts.
