Hearts for Hurricane Ida

The name of the fundraiser is "Hearts for Hurricane Ida". The creators of the fundraiser are: Amy Stalcup, Catalina Agudelo, Sarah Lee Kendall, Sherell Slaise, and Sharon B Johnson. We are the Paradigm Shifters!

We are committed to creating a world of connection, love, and commitment. The purpose is to raise money for the victims in Louisiana who have suffered the loss of their homes.

The funds we raise will directly go to All hands and Hearts to support the hardest-hit areas where there is the greatest need, deploying chainsaw, muck and gut, and tarping teams to assist the local community. 

 

Here is some information on the damage caused by Hurricane Ida on September 1, 2021. "Ida slammed into the northeastern area of the United States with record-breaking rainfall causing historic flood levels in New York and in New Jersey. Its wind speeds exceeded 150 mph and were sustained for a total of 6 hours. This was twice the duration of the 125 mph sustained winds of Hurricane Katrina. There are over 2 million people who live in the affected area, over 18,000 people have already filed for federal aid. According to Power Outage, as of this week, about 405,000 customers in Louisiana remain without power. Fallen trees and debris litter the streets across Ida’s path. Homes are missing parts of their roofs, fallen trees lie on homes and roads, and some of the most devastated areas are still flooded and remain impassable.
