Severe storms carved a path of destruction across the center of the United States from May 16 to May 17, killing more two dozen people and leaving dozens injured - and more than 5,000 buildings were damaged, including homes.
Our Americares Emergency Response team is providing hygiene supplies to local partners who have requested support. They have reached out to more than 60 partners in the hardest hit areas to offer assistance. We are prepared to deliver critically needed medicines and relief supplies to support survivors. This includes medicines to treat chronic diseases, hygiene kits and first aid items – as well as emergency funding to help restore health services in affected communities.
During critical moments like these, support from our donors is vital. Your gift helps our emergency teams deliver health and hope to those affected by the severe storms in the Midwest and other extreme weather events around the world.
For over four decades, Americares has been actively responding to natural disasters like tornadoes as well as humanitarian crises caused by war and conflict. Whenever help is needed, we provide lifesaving aid and support long-term recovery. Whether it's delivering emergency support in the first hours after a disaster or helping clinics restore access to health services in the months ahead, your support is crucial.
Donate today to support communities reeling from disasters in the Midwest and around the world.
