Debris is strewn across the ground after Hurricane Helene passed through Keaton Beach, Florida on Friday, Sept. 27, 2024.

We needed to make sure you saw our last message, friend: On Thursday night, Hurricane Helene made landfall as a powerful Category 4 storm. After slamming Florida’s Gulf Coast, Helene moved across the Southeast U.S. causing flash floods, landslides and knocking out power for millions of people. Now, we urgently need your help to deliver lifesaving aid throughout the region.

Please, give $125 or whatever you can right away to help us provide immediate support here and wherever disaster strikes.

Thank you for your support during this critical time,

Americares

Subject: Hurricane Helene has hit Florida | HELP NEEDED

Friend,

Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida last night as a powerful Category 4 hurricane and continues to leave a trail of destruction as it moves north. Entire communities are devastated: Record-setting storm surges, torrential rain and extremely high winds are causing life-threatening damage from Florida through Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee. Millions are without power, and widespread flooding and landslides are expected.

Americares is responding by deploying a team to the area to ensure medical aid reaches survivors as quickly as possible. But we can’t do it alone, friend: Will you donate $125 now to help our emergency teams deliver lifesaving aid throughout the region?

Our team has reached out to more than 400 local partners across the Southeast United States to offer assistance for communities affected by this powerful storm. Americares is prepared to provide emergency funding, medical and relief supplies to those most in need.

“We have been responding to storms of this magnitude for decades and understand just how devastating a major hurricane can be for a community and, especially, those who have the least resources. We’re ready to restore access to essential health services and critical relief supplies,” says Americares U.S. Director of Emergency Response Mariel Fonteyn.

But we need your help to support this work. Please, friend, will you rush a gift of $125 to help our emergency teams deliver urgent aid and hope to those affected by Hurricane Helene and other crises around the world?

Thank you for supporting lifesaving aid, 

Americares
