Hurricane Laura Relief Fund
Donation protected
Hello everyone. As you all know, Hurricane Laura tore through SWLA and the surrounding areas as a Category 4 storm on 8-26-2020 (one of the strongest to ever make landfall here). My family was very fortunate as our damage was minimal but a lot my friends and other residents weren’t so lucky. I’m starting this to try to raise money to donate to the Community Foundation of Southwest Louisiana, a local organization that “raises money from people who want to help their neighbors in Southwest Louisiana return to the lives they’d known before this disaster struck. The contributions we receive will be granted to nonprofits that have proven they don’t flinch when catastrophe comes.
At the start, our disaster grants pay for food, shelter, medicine, and all the other necessities that help stabilize those in most immediate need. Then we shift to making grants for long-term recovery and, perhaps more importantly, for making people and places more resilient for the next time disaster visits.” Any little bit you can donate will help, SWLA and my family appreciate you all.
