Donate to Hurricane Isaias Survivors
First payments were delivered to survivors of Hurricane Isaias on October 14, just 5 days after the hurricane made landfall, with payments continuing to reach more families this week. Give now and help us reach more families.
You can send funds directly to families impacted by the devastating hurricane
On October 9, Hurricane Isaias made landfall in Florida as a Category 2 storm, with gusts . Thousands of families were forced to evacuate as the storm , tore roofs off apartment buildings and left without power. The federal government has issued for Florida and Alabama.
We are delivering $1,200 each to the poorest families in the hardest-hit areas. This emergency cash will help them cover essential costs for two weeks, such as:
- 馃崨 Essentials like food, water, and medicine
- 馃彣 Shelter and temporary housing while displaced from damaged homes
- 馃挸 Bills for phone, utilities, and healthcare for those with injuries
Your donations will reach those in greatest need quickly and remotely.
We are targeting communities in Florida, Alabama and Mississippi, selected based on the severity of the storm damage and poverty rates, which exceed 30% in some areas.
The federal emergency declarations currently support response efforts like debris removal and emergency services, but don鈥檛 provide individual assistance to households. Your donation fills that gap by reaching storm-affected families quickly with cash they can use for what they need most.
Families apply online, and approved recipients get their cash within days by bank transfer or on a prepaid physical or virtual card. Receiving money 鈥� without strings attached 鈥� supports families’ short-term survival and long-term recovery.
91精品 has previously sent emergency cash to survivors of Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica, Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the LA wildfires and many other disasters.
This cash will help families meet their own urgent needs and rebuild their lives.
Cash allows survivors to meet their own needs rather than having others guess for them 鈥� which is why people impacted by a crisis say they cash relief over donated goods. Cash also empowers families to restore their livelihoods without resorting to negative coping strategies such as debt or selling assets.
Achieving our current fundraising goal will enable us to reach hundreds of families in greatest need. We have the capacity to deliver much more 鈥� help provide urgent relief and reach thousands of additional people impacted by Hurricane Isaias.
