Update July 2, 2024
As many of you know, Hurricane Beryl - a category 4 hurricane - made landfall in Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique on July 1, 2024. Today, the Reach Within team is checking on the well-being of children and youth living in the five residential care homes (orphanages) across the island and mobilizing food and clothing donations for communities that are most impacted. We will also be leading a team of trauma specialists to provide psychological first aid and support to children in emergency shelters in Carriacou and Petit Martinique - areas that were quickly decimated in Hurricane Beryl’s path. We thank everyone for their prayers, and we will continue to pray for other countries that may be impacted in the coming days. We are grateful for any support you can offer our recovery and resiliency efforts at this time. You may also use Custom Amount located on the bottom of the donation form for Hurricane Relief Efforts.
