Disaster Relief

"Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth."
Psalm 124:8
 

When someone is starting their life over after a devastating Earthquake what do they need?
 
In addition to food, housing, and clothing they need:

 - Employment
 - A support system
 - Job Skills
 - English Language
 - Adaptation & Acculturation
 - Mental Health Counseling
 
They need TIME – to heal, adjust, acquire the skills and resources they need to regain their independence.

It is easy to forget disaster victims as time passes. Yet, it is imperative that we do not forget these survivors before they reach

their goal of self-sufficiency.

Catholic Charities continues to assist 250 Haitian evacuee families living in South Florida but our ability to help is diminishing as

disaster relief funds dwindle.

 
Earthquake survivors need YOU!
 

Please, MAKE A GIFT today!  Every donation, large or small, makes a difference.



Disaster Relief

Catholic Charities serves as the lead agency for disaster response in the Archdiocese of Miami. Our hurricane response team is frequently mobilized to provide food, water, and other essential items throughout Florida. When international disasters strike we work with Catholic Relief Services and CARITAS to provide for those who have been impacted.

Financial contributions to Catholic Charities’ Disaster Relief Fund are the most effective way to help people who are suffering.
Monetary donations allow us to:

• Purchase supplies in bulk
• Deliver items most urgently needed based on on-the-ground assessments
• Minimize delivery time and shipping costs
