Helping Families and Individuals in Puerto Rico
Our hearts go out to all families and individuals in the Caribbean affected by Hurricane Fiona — especially the people of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, who have lost power, access to clean water, and have had their homes damaged by flooding.
For those wanting to help the people
of Puerto Rico, NPR has compiled a list of options. Additionally, the Children's Health Fund and UNICEF have set up donation sites.
Before you donate to an organization, make sure to research them on trusted sites like Charity Navigator and Guidestar, which
rate nonprofits based on their effectiveness and financial condition.
For those working with families recovering from natural disasters and other traumatic events, NCFR's collections How to Talk to Children About Tragedies
and Weathering Hurricanes and Other Disasters offer relevant resources.
Have a resource to add to our collections? Email Trip Sullivan at tripsullivan@ncfr.org.
