John, countless communities are still reeling after Hurricane Helene – one of the most powerful storms to ever hit the United States – left widespread destruction.
Here’s what you need to know:
At least 160 people have been killed, and many are still missing. More than 2 million people still don’t have power, and many roads remain closed, leaving communities cut off from critical resources.
Save the Children is responding to meet the needs of children and families impacted by this disaster. Our teams are working alongside partners in the affected communities to ensure critical supplies – including hygiene kits, diapers and baby wipes – get to those that need them most.
In moments of crisis like this, support from caring people like you is more important than ever.
With your help, we will remain in communities as long as it takes to help children and their families recover. Thank you for all you do, especially in moments of crisis.
