The Lima Rotary Club raised $604 to help purchase a new truck for MESA by passing the bucket.
Medical Equipment and Supplies Abroad has two trucks which bring about 99% of the items that we collect to the MESA warehouse. Those trucks are 18 and 22 years old with a combined 600,000 miles of service. They are failing apart. Our large 26 foot truck was rear-ended last year, and declared totaled by our insurance carrier. We bought the truck from the insurance company for $4,000 on a salvage title. After repairs, we have $17,000 in insurance proceeds to start our truck fund. The total cost to upgrade our two trucks (a 16 foot and a 26 foot) to approximately 2017 models would be $120,000. We need to replace both trucks before next winter. Without these tools, it would be impossible to fulfill MESA’s mission to help those in need around the world.
This Rotary year we have made shipments to Mexico, Belize, Panama, St. Vincent, Lebanon, Poland and Ukraine. 99% of those items arrived at our warehouse on our trucks. Please, help us continue to help those in need. We are asking for a special contribution to MESA’s truck fund. Your contribution can be made in this Rotary year or early in the next Rotary year.
