Message From Dr. Yong Tao
Dear team members and friends of Future House USA,
As you may have heard, the worst earthquake in 30 years hit China two days ago and over 12,000 dead, and counting, and more lost their homes and belongings. The Future House USA in Beijing was not affected at all. However, the president of Future House Real Estate Company, which is in charge of the entire Ministry of Construction project, Mr. Lin's hometown is near the epicenter of the quake. I talked to him last night and found that his family and relatives lost everything in the quake. I did not get a chance to ask about the fatality.
I am considering to put together a donation to take it to Lin next week when I visit Beijing. Monetary contribution is preferable. It does not matter the amount that you may consider and it matters that we show that we care.
I will purchase a card and list all the names who contribute on the card and present to Mr. Lin. I will write a check to him with the total amount you pledge to me. I will report back to you total pledge later. When I come back I will figure out the way to collect the money. Perhaps, all the checks go to the Green Living Foundation (formerly Alternative Living Foundation) to have a tax exempt status.
Please email your pledge to vivwang@yahoo.com. My wife Vivian will take care of all the bookkeeping.
Please pass the message to your friends who care about the Future House Projects.
Thank you.
