My name is Marcia Kincade, and I work as a Unit Secretary at Medical City Arlington Hospital in Texas. Thanks to everyone who has been able to donate to help them survive these past few weeks. Unfortunately the need for other families is even greater than originally thought. There is little clean water, electricity is sketchy at best and the internet is all satellite which is not that reliable. Portable generators or how several neighborhoods are sharing to charge their phones and stay intouch with the world outside. Many of the Western Union offices are just now getting back operational and are running out of money daily. This crisis is far from over and if there is any more your can do, rest assured that it will get in the actual hands of real people in need in the Westmoreland parish of Jamacia.

Many families were already struggling before this disaster, and now they are left with nothing. Unfortunately, most government programs do not reach the rural poor, leaving families like mine without meaningful aid or support. Because of the bureaucracy and restrictions, it’s nearly impossible to send supplies or materials directly to them. The best way to help is by sending funds so they can purchase food, water, and basic necessities—though even those are now extremely expensive in the aftermath.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a real difference in helping them rebuild their lives. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness and generosity
