Roberta E. Eastman, The Customers Corner, is spearheading a Pay It Forward Marathon for the Virtual Professionals to assist victims of the California wildfires. Maplewood Virtual Assistance and virtual assistants across the United States, (and even a virtual assistant as far away as Kenya), are offering their respective services at no charge to help businesses, firefighters, and individuals get a fresh start. Anyone dislocated from their home or business who needs administrative services can contact The Customer’s Corner.
As of this writing the virtual assistants have donated over 1,000 hours of free service through December 31, 2007 to help ease the stress on business owners, homeowners, and firefighters needing administrative services. With 7 deaths, 2,000 homes destroyed and 516,000 acres burned, our hope through Pay It Forward Marathon for Virtual Professionals is that any administrative services provided will make a difference in lives, relieve stress, and allow people to get back on life’s journey.
All efforts are being focused through partnering with such agencies as the American Red Cross, the California Governor’s Office, and the Salvation Army.
If you would like to contribute to this worthy cause please join Maplewood Virtual Assistance and the other committed VAs and click on the above link or call Roberta Eastman at 805-930-9833 Monday-Friday 8am-6pm (PST). Any amount of hours donated can be used – from 15 minutes to 15 hours. “Together we can truly Pay It Forward in the wake of this disaster,” as quoted by Roberta Eastman.
