Grateful to see this update from our friends at Camp Restore! Sending lots of prayers and positive thoughts to our friends in Louisiana!❤️

Overall, Camp Restore New Orleans is in decent shape after Ida… an assortment of moderate roof damage and perhaps a dozen or so small leaks with interior damage. Stabilizing the situation, filing insurance and waiting for electrical service to return to the area.

The most common damage in Orleans Parish is varying degrees of shingle loss… a significant portion of properties. Damage increases to the West. The overall picture will come into focus over the rest of the week.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support - we will be evaluating both short- and long-term response while continuing to factor in the need to minimize Covid-19 spread. Complicated times!

Sending prayers and positive thoughts to our friends and family in New Orleans!

Our roots in New Orleans began six months after Katrina. It’s our home base, our original operating site. Every way we’ve grown as an organization in the last decade has come from a desire to prevent the suffering we observed in those early days—from our resiliency work ahead of disaster to investing in the long-term recovery after, and to the government advocacy and policy in between. SBP’s disaster response team is prepped and ready to deploy from the New Orleans and Houston operating sites. Muck and gut and mold remediation kits are also packed and ready to go. Our community—and others—will need us.

Hello friends of MIH:

For those who don’t know me, I went on a MIH trip January 2015 of my senior year and loved giving back to a community who needed our help. I now have the opportunity to provide help to a community in need in a different way. In fall 2022, I’ll be going on a trip with Global Autism Project.
Global Autism Project is an organization that partners with autism centers around the world to help children access services they need. They provide funding and supplies to keep centers open, but more importantly provide ongoing training to staff so that they can run the centers on their own! Making sure that the work is sustainable when volunteers aren’t there is a huge part of their mission. I’m going to (hopefully) Ecuador with them in fall 2022 to help train staff at a partner site!

I’ll be there for 2 weeks. Any donations I receive go towards GAP and funding partner sites. This helps with supplies, ongoing trainings, autism summits, autism education, etc. It also goes towards helping fund new partner sites in new locations! Community autism education and funding new partner sites is especially important, because unfortunately there is still a negative stigma surrounding autism in many other countries and services can be hard to come by. The more partner sites GAP can assist, the more children who receive the education the need, and the more autism acceptance we can see around the world.

My fundraising page has more information about my trip and I am also happy to answer any questions if you have them 🙂 Even if you’re unable to donate, sharing my fundraising page with others would be extremely helpful and much appreciated!
