Here’s why emergency response matters.

Hey, JOhn, this is Jennifer, and I coordinate Rise Against Hunger's emergency medical response efforts.

 

I talk to our partners in countries around the world who are facing life-threatening circumstances every day, but a recent call with Dr. Maklin at New Hope Hospital in Cap-Haïtien, Haiti, was different.

 

He shared the story of a patient who had been severely burned as a result of fires set by gangs in Port-au-Prince’s residential areas. Recent gang violence has rocked the country, displacing more than 1 million people. No hospital in Port-au-Prince could help this patient; they simply didn't have the resources.

 

But Dr. Maklin did. His hospital had just received burn dressings, antibiotics, wound supplies and pain medication — sent directly from Rise Against Hunger’s warehouse in Orlando, Florida.

One helicopter flight later, the patient was receiving life-saving care at New Hope Hospital.

Dr. Maklin made it clear that without those supplies, it would’ve been impossible to help this man during his critical hour of need.

 

This is exactly why our Global Emergency Relief Fund, supported by donors like you, exists. Not for someday, but for right now. For the next emergency we can't predict but know is coming.

 

When you donate to Rise Against Hunger, your gift doesn't sit in an account somewhere — it becomes emergency supplies, ready to use when lives hang in the balance.

Donate Now!

Will you help us reach our goal to raise $20,000 this month to ensure that Dr. Maklin and our crisis response partners around the globe have what they need?
