Arlan Fuller, Project HOPE’s Director of Emergency Preparedness and Response, told our team that “Hurricane Helene has left a trail of devastation, leaving families homeless overnight. People have gone days without power or potable drinking water. Flooding has caused sewage overflow which contaminates the surrounding area and creates a breeding ground for water-borne illnesses.
With roads impassable, many areas are cut off from basic services like pharmacies and grocery stores. We’re racing against time to provide relief to people who need it most. Our team is working closely with local partners to provide support where it is needed.”
Arlan’s team is doing everything they can to ensure necessary supplies, health care, and other support can reach impacted children and families. Your emergency gift today can help us respond to crucial health care needs in North Carolina and help us continue to support other communities and health systems across the globe.
With current relief efforts also taking place in Lebanon, Gaza, Ukraine, and other parts of the world, your support is needed now more than ever.
Thank you for your partnership and compassion.
