East Palestine Off The Rails!

Donation protected
This is a donation site created by people that live here for people that live here.

I am a Chiropractic physician that lives in this town.

I grew up in a wooded area 2 towns over.

Returning to the area after college, we made East Palestine our home.

My wife and I have lived in East Palestine for 30 years.

I think I’ve treated half of this town at one time or another.

Our town has received many generous donations, such as food, water, and cleaning supplies from caring loving people of over the world.

What our town’s people have not gotten is financial relief from our government.

We have created this site to bring true relief to our residents.

We have set our goal high because frankly any less than that is only putting a Band-Aid on the situation.

Many of our residents are displaced in hotels currently.

Many of our residents want out but cannot go.

Their lives have been shattered due to the deadly chemical spill and subsequent chemical burn.

If we reach our goal, we plan to give 500 deserving families $10,000 each so that they can start anew if they so wish, and they can put that toward the rental of a new apartment or frankly spend it however, they wish.

The poor people of this town have gotten no real financial relief of any significance.

Those that want to leave cannot because it is not financially feasible for them to do so.

If we do not even come close to our goal of $5 million, we will end up putting a Band-Aid on the situation by buying people the best water filtration systems, and air purifiers we can for each deserving home and help the truly deserving people in our town on a case by case basis.

We know the people in this area and they know us.

We will not draw imaginary borders in which smoke and deadly chemicals did not go.

Due to this tragedy, people are also in dire need in towns that touch our borders.

There are families in Negley, Ohio and surrounding communities that desperately need your help.

We will regularly post on our Facebook group updated funds collected, and we will make public to whom funds or filters and purifiers are distributed.

The people of East Palestine have been abandoned and forgotten by our government.

Won’t you please help by giving what you can?

Thank you so much.

Rick and Tammy Tsai
