Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #204
Greetings and welcome to the Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #204. Thanks for your time to support Hope for Survival and read the weekly PENL. We are now into March and more crazy weather is around us. Are you paying attention to the natural events occurring around the world and maybe in your area? Remember, a natural disaster can ruin your day and life while you wait on the manmade events happening all over the globe. I read a report this week saying scientist in the East Palestine, OH area is reporting the area to be a complete disaster area with the air, water, and soil heavily impacted from toxins remaining in the area. A snap of the finger and life changed for these citizens. This could be me, you, family, and friends at any given moment. Preparedness is about all hazards. Remember this as you prepare.
We are quickly approaching the time to start germinating seeds, starting your plants, and getting your garden ready to smile and show happiness with lots of vegetables and goodies for you to can, dehydrate, or freeze dry.
Crazy week but also filled with blessings and good people. No matter how crazy the world around us seems, how can we complain about anything if we have a roof over our head, food and water, and we are safe and without family or health issues? Think about it. Behind the scenes in HFS we have caring and loving Patriots facing all kinds of issues from health to family, to finances, and more. These are humans just like us. They have names and they are real. Not just an email address or name. They are real. I mention this because I often wonder about your neighbor. Do you know your neighbor? You may wave and speak to them, but do you know them? Have you tried to know them? Now is the time to make the effort.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to those who donated to the 2023 donation drive already. Bless you and thank you so much. You are the fuel to keep the HFS mission rolling forward another year.
What am I talking about?
HFS is conducting our annual fund drive March 1-31, 2023. We call this our HFS March Madness Drive which keeps us funded operationally for the coming year. First let me say a big thank you to those who funded us for this year and the past years. We are grateful for your kindness and generous support. Your donations and support strictly fund our operational efforts for software, licensing fees, editing and recording software and license, print capabilities and needs, and fees for platform cost annually.
You probably visit numerous websites daily and notice how they run adds for external products and advertise sponsors. You will find none of this at Hope for Survival and we have declined opportunities to do so. Keeping Hope for Survival sponsor free allows us to control the information posted and to focus on what is important. Getting you prepared. Please consider making a onetime donation, or a monthly donation throughout the year, or you can contact me for information to make a donation through a check. Your donation keeps us running week to week. Thanks for your consideration and support.
HFS is approaching our 4th Anniversary and to date, we work for free. No pay. Our time is donated, and any proceeds earned is recycled back to pay for future travel to your communities to help others get prepared. All proceeds from Hope for Survival book sales are donated to help purchase food for others in need.
Please help us get through another year and consider a donation.

We must make this brief public announcement to protect the innocent.
Ding, Ding, Ding....Attention HFS readers..... Opinions shared in this newsletter are just that, opinions, and nothing more. Read at your own risk. The owner and author of this site is not responsible for hurt feelings or thin-skinned readers. I do my best to show restraint and respect to the best extent possible. I take as many precautions as possible and try to remain as nonpolitical as possible, however, there are times when I just can't help but point certain things out. Occasionally I use words only Patriots recognize and understand. It's not personal against any non-Patriot. It's just the truth. Sometimes we must pull up our spenders and suck it up. Just saying. Stay the course, read what you want, and avoid the rest. Avoid fear porn as much as possible and the day will be okay. When all else fails… Keep the faith and always have Hope.
Let’s move along and get to some thoughts...
