CYT Lafayette and Baton Rouge Flood
Donation protected
Christian Youth Theater (CYT) is a national after school theater arts program training children in all aspects of the performing arts. Two Louisiana affiliates and their families were greatly impacted by the recent flooding.
This fund is to help the over 15 CYT families that lost everything in their homes.
The funds will be used to help families get back to normal by purchasing everyday items needed to live. House after house in Lafayette and Baton Rouge there is a giant pile in the front yard with everything that family owned, all completely destroyed by water. Furniture, clothes, appliances, keepsakes, everything...... gone. It is so heartbreaking. Help us raise the money needed to get them through this overwhelming time.
Our goal is to raise the money by mid September to help lighten the burden and given them hope.
"For the last week we have been gutting houses of everything. So many have just broke down in tears when you drive up to help. How can we not help? These are not just faceless families, these are CYT families, people we know and love. They have sacrificed so much for CYT. Its our time to prove our love for them. Thank you in advance for helping."

"It's overwhelming to think of helping people rebuild their lives when you look at the numbers...250,000 people displaced from their homes (most who have lost everything, including vehicles)... and many without flood insurance! BUT, we know that when you help one family, you've made a world of difference!
CYT is a family. A great big family that reaches beyond state borders. It would mean so much to our Louisiana CYT families to know that the CYTs across the nation are reaching out to them - to remember that we're not alone, and that the rest of our family cares."
Tonja Rainey - Baton Rouge

Each effected family will receive a VISA gift card from the money raised to help pay for items they need. Thanks again for everyone's contribution!
