</div>
<div>Devastating hurricanes have become all-too-frequent occurrences in the United States, with vulnerable communities often bearing the burden of the worst impact. Each year, hundreds of people create fundraisers on the GoFundMe platform asking for help in the wake of a destructive hurricane.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fund was created to provide direct relief to people in need after a hurricane. Your tax-deductible donation will ensure this fund can support as many people as possible as soon as a disaster strikes. We begin sending critical cash grants directly to people who need help often within 24 hours following a major hurricane.
