Hope After the Hurricane

Even weeks later, Hurricane Ian is still impacting the daily—even hourly—lives of countless victims.

LRI has partnered with relief organizations providing practical help and hope in real time in devastated communities, right in the middle of the worst-hit areas.

Caring people, as you read these words, are ministering, feeding, clothing and comforting those who are homeless and cannot meet their own needs right now.

According to PBS NewsHour, many survivors feel lost in more ways than one as they make their way through the rubble:

• “With her home gone and all her belongings trashed by Hurricane Ian, Alice Pujols wept as she picked through soggy clothes, toys and overturned furniture piled head-high outside a stranger’s house, looking to salvage something—anything—for her four children and herself. ‘I’m trying to make it to the next day,’ she said. ‘That’s all I can do.’”

• “On Pine Island, just off the Florida mainland where Ian first struck, an emotional Alan Bickford said … what lay before him was bleak: the floors of his home were coated in stinky muck and his yard was littered with framed photos, furniture and other items he’d hauled outside. ‘It’s like a death of a loved one.”

Please make a generous donation today to Liberty Relief International to help hurricane victims like Alice, Alan and thousands of others—people who can only rely on the generous compassion of friends like you.

One of our partners is helping with debris removal, damage mitigation and distribution of food, water, hygiene supplies—and spiritual comfort.

If you have already given toward this effort, you have my heartfelt thanks and encouragement to provide more help if possible.

If you have yet to reach out to the survivors of this historic storm, please don’t wait. Give immediately as you are able.

Thank you and God bless you!
