Appalachian Regional Healthcare (ARH)’s Post

The first time I moved to Florida in 2004, there were 3 #hurricanes that I experienced that year. I remember asking "is this normal?" Luckily it was not normal. But living back in Florida has me thinking about hurricanes again. Fortunately, SBP thinks about natural disasters all the time! Although they can't prevent them, they can help disaster survivors recover faster. They are a #nonprofit that was created after Hurricane Katrina, and have been working on ways to prepare communities inside and outside of New Orleans for disasters, and support them in the aftermath with home rebuilding. They have continuously improved their processes with the support of Toyota Motor Corporation and their #TSSC consultants. We recognized them for their efforts with the 2024 Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers "Excellence in Sustainable Development" award. A donation to SBP ensures that in the wake of the next disaster, impacted families can receive immediate assistance.

Supporting local is so important and vitally important to their economic recovery post disaster/emergency.

Dear network, Amidst the difficult news that has been impacting Rio Grande do Sul in recent days, I would like to share something of extreme importance and urgency with you all. Floods have devastated entire communities, leaving families without homes, belongings, and, in many cases, without hope. It is in times like these that our solidarity and empathy become crucial. Therefore, I'm here to share the link to a fundraiser that has been initiated to help these families rebuild their lives. Every contribution, no matter how small it may seem, makes a significant difference. Let's come together, let's extend our hands and our hearts to those who need it most. Together, we can bring a ray of hope to these affected communities. The link to the fundraiser is here https://lnkd.in/eWYDT_cA. In this challenging time, let us maintain strength and faith. With love, solidarity, and action, we can overcome any adversity. I count on you all. Warm regards, Fernando Amidst the floods that have inundated Rio Grande do Sul, we raise this channel of hope. A historic flood has left a trail of destruction, carrying away not only homes and belongings but also dreams and aspirations. Now, more than ever, these families need our support, which is why we are opening this donation channel. Every penny raised will be carefully channeled in the form of direct donations of furniture and appliances to the families of São Leopoldo, one of the hardest-hit by this tragedy. https://gofund.me/a35514a7

Something to think about

Did you know that vehicle donations can be crucial in times of disaster? They pave the way for recovery and help fund Habitat's rebuilding efforts in affected communities. When you choose to donate your old car, you're doing more than just letting go of a vehicle – you're giving hope and resilience to families facing adversity in need of disaster relief.

It is a critical time to address the impact of high heat on individuals, families and communities across the state, particularly for those struggling financially to address and adapt to the record-breaking temperatures. Wildfire is here to help. Governor Hobbs' order also directed state agencies to develop a comprehensive heat plan and advocate for more federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding. As a community action agency that connects low-income households with resources, Wildfire will do everything we can to support Governor Hobbs bringing more LIHEAP money into the state. "The program was initially designed to help cold-weather communities keep residents heated in the winter, but it has evolved to become an important resource for air conditioning assistance in hot summers, said Wildfire Executive Director, Kelly McGowan. Wildfire will match community donations up to $500,000 in donations to repair and replace HVAC units for qualifying low-income individuals at no cost to them -- bringing the total raise to $1,000,000. The more we are able to raise in donations, the greater the impact we can make.
