Roughly 130 million people throughout the world are currently living in crisis, either through war or natural disasters. Many need immediate humanitarian aid for survival and there are many more here at home who are facing other challenges. Many institutions such as homeless shelters, nursing homes, hospitals or organizations that serve underprivileged people rely heavily on the generosity of volunteers. Humanitarian aid comes in many different forms and it always provides the necessary assistance to people in need.
“Some have paid the ultimate price, and we will shall never forget that,” said Almeida. “We have some honorable people who won’t shy away from doing the work and we thank them for it, each and every day.”
