Thank you for your support of kids during last year’s hurricane season. Fifty-four counties in Texas were declared a state of disaster. Rainfall was measured in feet. When it was over Hurricane Harvey, the first of three major hurricanes to strike the U.S. in a month in 2017, left children and families reeling. Save the Children, the national leader for children in emergencies, deployed quickly to meet critical needs on the ground.

Thanks to your generous support we’re still in Texas, helping children, families and communities in Houston and in the Golden Triangle and Coastal Bend areas recover. More than 261,100 children and adults have directly or indirectly benefited from our work. We are the only organization supporting the restoration of child-care services, and we are reaching children in places where needs were initially overlooked as attention focused on Houston. Read the impact of your support in our Hurricane Harvey One-Year Anniversary report.

Today, Save the Children is responding to the effects of Hurricane Florence. Our emergency responders were on the ground before the hurricane hit and continue to work tirelessly to address the needs of families in shelters. Thousands were forced to evacuate their homes, fearing the worst. With up to 30 inches of rainfall measured in some communities – and some rivers yet to crest – the damage isn’t over yet. Please visit our Hurricane Florence GlobalGiving Page to help us continue delivering essential support to these American families in crisis.

Thank you again for supporting kids in need.
