Hurricane Melissa has struck, leaving behind devastating destruction across Jamaica and southern Haiti. Lives have been lost, homes have been destroyed, communities flooded, and thousands of families are in urgent need of food, clean water, and shelter. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is on the ground, responding with emergency relief — but they need our help. Your donation today will provide lifesaving aid and help families begin to recover and rebuild. And please pray for all those affected — for safety, healing, and strength as they face the difficult days ahead. Together, through our prayers and generosity, we can bring hope and relief to those who’ve lost so much.
