GIVE HOPE

Help extend our relief efforts to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Starting October 2, we will be making multiple daily flights into San Juan, Puerto Rico, to fly hospital patients to Florida. This is an incredible opportunity that will allow Young Living and the Young Living Foundation to utilize our resources to send much-needed relief supplies to Puerto Rico, while also helping transport those who need constant medical attention.

With this disaster, our greatest interest is to safeguard human lives (member or non-member) by bringing those who need medical attention to Florida and by providing supplies to vulnerable people as nearly half of Puerto Rico’s 3.4 million residents still lack potable water.

HELP US DO MORE

Young Living and the Young Living Foundation have come together to provide an initial start of $100,000 for these efforts, which will allow us to make multiple trips for about three days. We need your help to extend our time, so we can continue to provide more aid.

We will be on the ground today, and we will start to evaluate and identify the best way possible to help those Young Living members in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and cooperate those efforts with local authorities. Be sure to follow the Young Living Foundation Facebook page closely for videos and updates from the field.

THREE WAYS TO HELP

1. Donate to our disaster relief fund. We’re looking to raise $1 million overall, and much of that will be used initially for recovery efforts in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Every $6,000 raised will support the cost of making a round-trip flight to Puerto Rico to bring aid and to rescue hospital patients.DONATE NOW

We will need help throughout the week, and we will need you to be flexible, as the plane will not return from Puerto Rico on a scheduled time.

IMPACTED HURRICANE IRMA
AND MARIA MEMBERS

Our goal is to alleviate any concerns members may have about their Young Living membership so they can focus on the needs of their families.

As of today, October 2, shipments are being sent to Puerto Rico. There is a backlog, and orders will take much longer to arrive. FedEx is also giving priority to life preservation freight that could further delay orders.

Since telecommunications are down throughout the islands, an upline leader can call our dedicated relief line at 1.844.760.2123 on behalf of a member in Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands to discuss ways to cancel orders or to alleviate other business concerns. The line is available Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., MT.

It is because of the extraordinary generosity of our members, donors, and employees that the Young Living Foundation is able to help in a variety of ways. To date, we have committed nearly $6 million in aid to bring hope and relief to our impacted Young Living members.

Our thoughts are with those who have been and continue to be impacted by these powerful disasters. If you have any questions, please send an email to info@younglivingfoundation.org.

The Foundation is currently sending care kits to members in Florida impacted by Hurricane Irma. If you have been severly impacted, or know of a member who has, please fill out a care kit request by clicking below. We are in the initial stages of gathering information on what care kits might be needed for members living on Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
