With your support, we can identify and address the most crucial health care needs in the aftermath of this emergency, including mental health support. I am seeing first-hand how serious the mental health needs are, especially among children. Los Angeles has been living in a state of fear for a week now, and as the winds pick up again, people across the city are facing uncertainty about what the next few days are going to bring. Exposure to natural disasters like this increases the risk of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), especially among children.
In addition to Los Angeles, our emergency relief efforts continue in Gaza, Ukraine, and other parts of the world, so your support is needed now more than ever. Rush your gift to help us meet urgent health care needs in Southern California and other local health systems around the world.
Thank you for your urgent partnership and compassion.
