In particular with the seriousness of the disease, now having affected over 213 countries worldwide, the situation for Americans is extremely precarious in many countries with a limited American Consular presence and with priority for their own citizens, Americans are often unable to get proper treatment and help.

What was originally a mail and telephone system of getting help to those in need is now an online system that puts any American in need with the closest American Missionary who can help.
With decades living in the country, the nearly 140,000 local American Missionaries are able to get through “red tape”, help with emergency assistance and information and be there for a fellow American in need.

Anyone with a family member overseas in need can simply go to www.theworldhelpline.org and press “help” to get connected with the closest American Missionary and get help.
The World Helpline urgently needs unused airline miles, emergency supplies, used IPhones to provide for Americans overseas to help fellow Americans in need as well as 1,000 new volunteers to keep it going.
