Rescue and Recovery Effort After the September 11, 2001 Attacks 17 : Recovery efforts: (5) Morale: The founders knew that the firefighters leading the rescue efforts among the rubble were far from the only individuals that were feeling the despair of the situation. Citizens and families all over the United States were hurting and something needed to be done to honor the fallen while recognizing that funding and donations were going to be needed in order to begin the clean up and rebuilding of the city. Jay Winukne, founder of the nonprofit MyGoodDeed,further explains what the founders experienced after establishment, "the amazing spirit of compassion and community service that grew out of 9/11 was so natural and evident immediately after the attacks". By 2012, many of the 250 plus organizations had disbanded due to lack of funding as the years progressed. Of the ones that remain, a handful stand proud knowing that they are still needed and therefore, are continuously working to ensure they can stay established for those who remain in need. One of these organizations, Tuesday's Children, was founded the day after September 11 in hopes of supporting the children immediately affected by the attacks. The founder of this non-profit, David Weild IV, now calls them one of the "last men standing" in that they are now one of the few remaining organizations who "provide direct services for what social-service groups and survivors of the attacks call the '9-11 Community'"
