Below are some first-hand stories from individuals who received grants.
"A hurricane hit our city and we lost electricity, our food, water came into the home and my employer sent the link to apply to this relief fund. I was able to replace the food and get the essentials that we needed to recover.
If you're struggling, a relief fund is a huge help - they're here to assist and I'm thankful that it was available. Thank you so much for the donations that were provided to this relief fund. It helped relieve some stress and being able to provide what was lost in the hurricane was tremendous."
-Gracie, Grant Recipient
"During the hurricane, the house I share with my elderly parents was flooded. This grant has truly been a huge help and blessing for our family, as we can repair what was damaged. I am infinitely grateful that these organizations exist that can help at a difficult time in our lives. I can only thank you for this enormous help to me and my family... there are really no words for such a beautiful action."
-Alex, Grant Recipient
"Honestly I did not know how or when I would be able to find help after the storm. My manager informed us about this relief fund, and I was beyond grateful for the help. Definitely appreciate this emergency relief, I was behind on bills and basic needs in the aftermath when I needed it the most. This grant has helped me out so much. Thank you for your donations!"
-Marybeth, Grant Recipient
