Help Helene Victims Rebuild Their Lives
The devastation from Hurricane Helene was tremendous, and the efforts to get those affected back to normalcy will likely continue for many months.

Every year, we at Matthews Family Dentistry campaign to collect goods or raise money in the spirit of Thanksgiving to support our community.

This year for our annual Thanksgiving campaign, in our own effort to serve those with the greatest need, we will be raising money to support a charity that will provide direct relief to the victims of Helene.

We will contribute $500.00 to get the fund going and would love your support in helping our neighbors that have lost so much and are struggling to get back on their feet.

Please join us and help us achieve our goal in this season of giving thanks for all we have and giving support to those who need it.

All proceeds collected will go to Direct Relief (www.directrelief.org).

Fast Lane Drive: Milton Relief Rally

At Fast Lane Drive, we are a community driven by passion, speed, and heart. Today, we unite not just for our love of exotic cars, but for a greater purpose: providing relief to those devastated by Hurricane Milton. This powerful storm has left millions without homes, food, or basic necessities, and we are stepping up to make a difference.

All Fast Lane Drive across the country are collaborating to launch this urgent GoFundMe campaign in partnership with Direct Relief, a top-rated global humanitarian organization providing medical aid and essential supplies to those in crisis. 100% of the donations raised will go directly to supporting those affected by Hurricane Milton.

This campaign is our way of giving back, not just as a car enthusiast community, but as human beings who care deeply about helping those in need. We invite everyone in the Fast Lane Drive family to join us in this collective effort.

3. Drive With Purpose: Join us this weekend for a special Fast Lane Drive Miami(10/12) and Palm Beach(10/13) event dedicated to this cause. As we gather for the thrill of the drive, we’ll also be raising awareness and collecting donations from participants and attendees alike.

Help Direct Relief Provide Critical Medical Aid
In the wake of the devastating hurricanes Helene and Milton, countless families and communities are in urgent need of assistance. Hospitals are overwhelmed, medical supplies are running low, and healthcare workers are stretched thin. To help meet these critical needs, I’m raising funds for Direct Relief, a renowned non-profit organization that provides life-saving resources during crises like these.

How Your Donation Helps:

Delivers essential medical supplies to hospitals and clinics.

Provides tetanus shots, antibiotics, and other critical medications.

Supports healthcare workers by helping cover their salaries, allowing them to continue their life-saving work.

Ensures hospitals and clinics can continue serving those in need.

Over the past week, Direct Relief has sent to Florida more than 2 tons of requested medical aid valued at more than $800,000, including:

Prescription Medications: Lifesaving medications like Epinephrine for severe allergic reactions, and Naloxone, for opioid overdoses, ensuring immediate response to life-threatening conditions. Additional medications critical for ongoing treatment of chronic conditions during emergencies included Bupropion (for depression), Fluoxetine (an antidepressant), and Celecoxib (for pain and inflammation).

Emergency and First Aid Supplies: Items such as bandages, gauze, and hydrocortisone cream were sent in significant quantities, supporting wound care and minor injuries.

Protective Equipment: N95 masks and protective coveralls were sent for hazardous conditions and air quality concerns.

Respiratory and Allergy Relief: Albuterol (for asthma), Fluticasone-Salmeterol (for asthma/COPD), and allergy medications like Allegra were included to help those with respiratory issues or allergies.

Nutrition and Hydration: Products like Ensure High Protein nutritional shakes and Pedialyte were supplied to help maintain nutrition and hydration for those in affected areas.

Mental Health Medications: Significant quantities of medications for mental health, including Duloxetine and Buspirone, were provided, reflecting the impact of disasters on mental well-being.

Emergency Hygiene and Medical Kits: Emergency Family Hygiene Kits and Medical Backpacks were sent, which contain various essentials for personal care and basic medical needs.

Every dollar makes a difference, no matter how big or small. Your support can help provide the immediate care and resources these communities desperately need.

Thank you for your generosity and compassion. Together, we can make a real impact.

Syria-Turkey Earthquake Relief
On February 6th, 2023, a 7.8-magnitude earthquake caused widespread damage across Turkey and northern Syria. More than 46,000 people have been confirmed killed, and as of February 20th, 2023, another 6.4-magnitude earthquake, making an already devastated area worse with the death toll expected to rise drastically. With the region already an epicenter of a brutal civil war and the home of millions of displaced refugees, these people need help more than ever. I'm raising money to benefit Direct Relief, and any donation will help make an impact. To help meet the urgent needs on the ground, Direct Relief is deploying medical supplies from its facilities in the U.S. and Europe for Turkey and Syria. More than 22 tons of medical aid has been staged or is being shipped for Turkey and Syria since the earthquake began.

My name is Mahmoud Ashrifeh. I’m from Darien, CT and I go to Syracuse University as an Architect student. I am not one to usually do something like this, but as a Syrian-American, and with the support of my family and friends, this event has affected me personally. I decided that I should be involved in any way I can. To raise awareness for this cause, I will run the Syracuse Half Marathon on April 16th, 2023, to raise money for those in need, with a goal of $10,000. I hope everyone can donate or at least spread awareness and share with your parents, family, and friends about the region's drastic situation. Just because it is not on the news anymore, it does not mean it is over. People still need help. Thank you in advance for your contribution, which means so much to me.

Run for Relief : Turkey & Syria Earthquake
Greetings Friends & Family,

In a few weeks time I’ll be running the Los Angeles Marathon on 3/19/23, and thought I’d take a shot at leveraging my interest & love of running in this event toward a good cause. For those that may not know, my decade+ long work within Architecture includes helping build resilient communities and disaster relief, so it is only natural that I try to raise some much needed aid after this devastating Earthquake and continued Aftershocks within the region of Turkey & Syria.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Direct Relief, and have started this out with a personal contribution of $250. Any donation will help make a difference, though in the spirit of the Marathon (26.2 miles) perhaps you will look at donating an amount per mile I run? Full disclaimer though, I’ve never not finished… LOL.

Thank you for taking the time to click reading this and hope you can help in any way you can. Best, Erik…

Stepping Up TOGETHER to Help Support Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, the world watched in horror as the Russian government launched a military invasion in Ukraine. That brought about the biggest humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War II. People’s lives were shattered, and they braced themselves with the sole focus of survival.

With numerous active war zones, in occupied towns and large cities under shelling, infrastructure gradually crumbled, resulting in loss of access to electricity, heating, water, food and medication. Those who were willing and able, abandoned their homes and fled the cities; others have hidden in bomb shelters and in basements with their families. As the conflict continues to unfold, many suffer, including children, the elderly and people with medical and chronic conditions who can no longer receive care or the medicine they require. And that’s just a tip of the iceberg when it comes to all the suffering ensuing from this war.

As a global agency with employees from over 6 continents, this devastating crisis has impacted many lives, including those of our fellow coworkers. With offices located around the globe, including Europe, we continue to feel the impact of this conflict on our colleagues, their families, friends, and the world at large.

As a collective, we are committed to do our part in supporting Ukraine. We’ve carefully selected an organization we believe can make a meaningful and immediate impact to relieve the suffering of those affected by the conflict and current crisis: Direct Relief.

Direct Relief is working directly with Ukraine’s Ministry of Health and other on-the-ground partners to provide urgently needed medical aid, including emergency response packs intended for first responders, oxygen concentrators, critical care medicines, and much more.

Together with the support of our colleagues and partners, we can continue to help those in need. Join us in helping to bring relief and much needed critical resources to Ukraine. Spread the word & donate to help us reach our goal!

Medical Supplies for Ukraine
As part of my training and participation in the Air Force Marathon this year, I want to help raise money for those suffering in Ukraine.

All proceeds will be donated to Direct Relief to support their Ukraine Relief effort, and any donation will help make an impact. War in Ukraine has killed thousands and injured untold more, while millions of Ukrainians have been displaced. Direct Relief is a recognized international partner of Ukraine’s Ministry of Health and supports several groups in Ukraine and regionally with requested medical aid—including trauma kits, cancer drugs, insulin, antidotes used in chemical attacks, and more.

As some extra motivation for you to donate, I have come up with some entertaining incentives for your donations (suggestions for more incentives are welcome!):

For each $10 donation you can add a song to a Spotify playlist that I will force myself to listen to while training and running the marathon

For each $20 donation I will send you a sweet printed photo of the Blue Angels from an Airshow or entertaining/funny image of me post-training runs/post marathon

For each $30 donation I will draw you a picture with my run map of your choosing

For each $50-100 donation I will 3D Print a kit card of the MiG-29 in honor of the Ghost of Kyiv

More to come...!

As training continues, I will continue brainstorming more incentives, and I hope to bring in some other runners to help spread the word. You don't necessarily have to take advantage of the incentives, but please indicate in your donation which incentive you'd like to participate in!
