Hurricane Helene Response

Dear Friend,

Thanks to your generosity, Convoy of Hope continues to make a lasting impact across the country through ongoing long-term recovery efforts. Even now, homes remain damaged, families are displaced, and many survivors still need help from the impact of Hurricane Helene. Below are a few updates on our long-term recovery efforts

• Provided training to both church and business partners to better assess needs and find resources for individuals
• Continue to receive direct referrals for lost appliances and furniture from long-term recovery partners.
• An elderly man called Convoy of Hope to verify that he was receiving new furniture because he had lost his furniture due to Hurricane Helene. He began crying because he had never had new furniture before and was extremely grateful for everything!
• We had an 87-year-old woman who was referred to us who had been sleeping on an air mattress for over a year. We were able to provide her with a new bed.
• A quote from a mom with a family of 6 received a washer from Convoy of Hope. “Today we received our washer, and I confess I teared up a bit! As the gentleman delivered, they were shocked to see so many baskets of laundry and made a joke about it. We homeschool, and as the truck arrived, my children cheered! I can’t tell you the blessing this washer already is to our family! Please tell your team that today, they are heroes in our eyes! Blessed beyond measure!
