Dear Friend,
I’m on the ground with our emergency team in North Carolina, where Hurricane Helene has left a trail of devastation. Families are homeless and facing dangerous shortages of essential medicines, food, drinking water, gas, and power. Entire communities are under several feet of water and roads to pharmacies and grocery stores inaccessible. Our teams are racing against the clock to rush critical health and humanitarian relief to people in need.
When I arrived at an emergency medical shelter in Asheville, here is what a health worker told me: “There is no water here and they have told us we won’t get water back for at least two months. We have 12 staff members living here at the center now to care for everyone. We can’t shower, can’t wash our clothes. We are doing the best we can with what we have, but the help is needed”, explained Robyne Clausen, Assistant Director of Clinical Services at an emergency medical shelter inside a long-term care center.
To help rush more lifesaving aid at this critical time, an Emergency 3X Matching Gift Challenge is available now through 10/9. Please rush your gift today — your generosity will be TRIPLED to go 3X as far to help save lives here in North Carolina and to support our global mission as we continue to deliver urgent aid in Lebanon, Gaza, Ukraine, and beyond.
