Subject: URGENT: Support needed as Hurricane Milton barrels through Florida
John, last night, Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida as a dangerous Category 3 hurricane, bringing heavy rains, ferocious winds, wide-spread tornadoes and life-threatening storm surges with it.
This comes just two weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated the Southeastern United States – claiming more than 230 lives and leaving countless children’s futures in its wake. At this critical moment, these children need your support. Our dedicated teams are working with our trusted education, childcare and community partners to provide immediate and long-term support. However, the scale of this disaster requires additional resources to power our recovery efforts. Your generous contribution can make a significant difference in rebuilding lives.
Together, we can make sure that children in Florida, across America and around the world are getting the urgent relief and long-term recovery they need to rebuild their lives.
