Damage from Hurricane Helene in Micaville, NC

Friend, I needed to reach out with an update as communities in Florida, North Carolina and across the Southeast face the devastation of two catastrophic hurricanes in under two weeks.

As I’m typing this, the death toll continues to rise. Many are experiencing day 4 without power as temperatures reach the upper 80s. And communities are reeling from the stress and trauma of losing everything in these disasters.

Through it all, I’ve been in awe of our emergency response teams. They’re working quickly to reach as many people as they can with the emergency relief that’s so desperately needed. It’s your generosity that makes these efforts possible – and until midnight tonight, your gift will be MATCHED by our partners at the CVS Health Foundation, up to $100,000.

So please, can I count on you to rush $125 (becomes $250) now toward lifesaving aid for those impacted by Hurricane Milton, Hurricane Helene and disasters around the world?

It's your donations in moments like this that fuel our efforts. Here’s a snapshot into what you’re making possible with your dollars:

• We’ve connected with hundreds of local partners across the Southeast to coordinate our response to Hurricanes Milton and Helene – offering the supplies and funds they need to support survivors.
• We’ve deployed multiple Americares emergency teams across Florida, North Carolina and Tennessee to assess the damage and identify the most urgent needs.
• We organized shipments of medical aid, hygiene kits, clean water and relief supplies to reach those impacted as quickly as possible. We also provided funding to restore vital health services in clinics that were damaged by the floodwaters.

But in the face of such massive destruction, the road to recovery will be long – which is why it’s so important to take full advantage of this chance to double your impact. Please, will you give now to have every dollar MATCHED to help us continue delivering vital aid and support to those who need it most?

Thank you,
