Historic rains continue to fall in Texas from Hurricane Harvey. First hand account from an Order of Malta member in the region: "This is catastrophic. Epic. Torrential rains falling."
Officials say that rain and "catastrophic flooding" expected to continue for days and when the flooding subsides, people will need our help.
Malteser International Americas and the U.S. Associations of the Order of Malta are coordinating relief efforts to deliver help for the victims of Hurricane Harvey. Members of the Order are on the ground in the affected areas.
In the coming days, families will begin to assess the devastation, much of coastal Texas has been washed away by storm surges, homes have been decimated, and many people are homeless. It has been said that entire communities will be uninhabitable for months to come.
In the wake of this debilitating hurricane, we need your help. We ask that you pray for the children and families left in its wake, and the first responders and rescue teams risking their lives to save others.
Please, give today and help us to rebuild lives in the wake of the storm, as the waters continue to rise and flooding continues to displace the most vulnerable.
