        Flight Attendants Helping Flight Attendants

        The Disaster Relief Fund provides a means for AFA members to assist other members and retirees who have suffered significant damage to their primary residence and/or faced relocation as a result of a disaster.  Since its beginning in the fall of 2001, the AFA Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) has provided financial support in the aftermath of many large-scale disasters including the September 11th terrorist attacks, Hurricane Katrina, and other natural and/or man-made disasters.

        AFA is committed to ensuring funds are available when the need arises so we are raising funds so that we may help more members in need.  AmazonSmile has been selected as a simple and automatic way to raise funds for our cause.  When you shop at smile.amazon.com – Amazon donates a portion of the sale to the DRF.

        When shopping at Amazon, your next purchase could support the AFA Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) at no cost to you.  The exact same low prices and selections are available as at Amazon.com.  When you make your purchase through AmazonSmile, 0.5% of your purchase price will automatically be donated to the DRF each and every time you shop.

        To begin helping other Flight Attendants through AmazonSmile:

        1. Go to http://smile.amazon.com/ch/52-2341209
        2. Use your same log-in information as you use for Amazon

        4. Bookmark AmazonSmile so you use this instead of the regular Amazon website

        In Solidarity,

        Your MEC – Jeffrey Peterson, Brian Palmer, Linda Christou, Lisa Pinkston, Terry Taylor, Mario de’Medici, Melissa Osborne, Tim Green and Brice McGee
