Disasters and Emergencies It’s hard to watch the news sometimes. The steady barrage of disasters worldwide has made it difficult to process the devastation being experienced around the world. These emergencies take diverse forms – be it a natural catastrophe like the earthquake in Morocco or a manmade crisis such as the war in Ukraine. In the face of such adversity, it is important that we don’t just watch but actively engage and respond in whatever way we can.

Addressing a crisis requires a diverse array of responses and each is significant to the collective efforts aimed at resolving the challenge.

Whether it takes the form of heartfelt prayers, generous donations, spreading awareness, offering support services, or providing handson assistance, our role is crucial. Daughters of Charity often find themselves on the front lines of disasters, particularly in impoverished areas that are prone to tragic upheavals. Dedicated sisters adeptly pivot their skills and activities to effectively address the urgent needs of crisis situations.

The attached photos illustrate some of the interventions undertaken by the Daughters of Charity, encompassing both immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts. Additionally, their impact is magnified by the collective support of individuals like yourself. They cannot navigate these challenges alone and rely on help from people like you who help get the resources they need to respond swiftly and effectively. Your donations go directly to sisters who are currently responding to ongoing disasters.

By getting involved in emergency recovery efforts through Daughters of Charity, you play a pivotal role in providing meaningful assistance to those in dire need. ~ the DC IPS Team
