#HurricaneMilton made landfall last night as a destructive Category 3 storm, impacting millions as devastating winds, storm surges, tornadoes, and flooding battered communities across Florida. Donate now to the Hurricane Milton Relief Fund to provide emergency relief and long-term support to impacted communities. GlobalGiving is partnering with trusted local nonprofits like Unity in Disasters, a Tampa-based group helping communities prepare for and respond to the storm. These organizations are uniquely equipped to act quickly and effectively because they live and work in the communities hardest hit.

Dr. Sarah Ahmed, a pharmacist and mother, knows firsthand the unbearable pain of losing a child. After her daughter Zainab was born, she was quickly whisked away to the NICU due to complications. Despite the best care, Zainab tragically passed away at just four months old due to a heart condition. Dr. Sarah’s experience gave her a deeper understanding of the neonatal health crisis in Pakistan, where 42 out of every 1,000 live births end in tragedy within the first 28 days. Too many families, unlike hers, can’t afford the care their babies desperately need. GlobalGiving partner Al-Mustafa Welfare Society is working tirelessly to ensure no family has to lose a child. Equipped with an array of modern medical technology and staffed by dedicated professionals, its NICU symbolizes an essential lifeline for many. Let’s ensure that no mother has to bear the weight of such heart-wrenching distance from her child, and advocate for every baby to receive the care they deserve.

Monstrous hurricanes like Helene and Milton leave us with one option: achieve greater equity in disaster preparedness and response. For people like Yolanda, caring for her two sons; one with a brain injury, the other with cancer, evacuating is virtually impossible. A decision she's had to make over, and over, and over again. No matter the headlines, communities that are undervalued, vulnerable, and marginalized before a disaster endure the heaviest impacts after a disaster. At GlobalGiving, we see a silver lining. Public, private, and philanthropic sectors have an opportunity now to come together and lead by example—and many already are. Your philanthropy goals can help overcome the illusion that disaster preparedness alone eliminates vulnerability. #DisasterRecovery #EmergencyResponse #Resilience #Nonprofit #Climate #Philanthropy #HurricaneHelene #HurricaneMilton #ResilienceForAll #BreakTheCycle #DRRday #DisasterRiskReduction

Today marks one year since the start of the devastating Israel-Hamas war—the latest escalation in a catastrophic, centuries-long conflict. Today, and every day since, and every day before, champions for humanity have not lost sight of their mission to help civilians survive the terrible conflict and create a safer world for all. Champions like Wafaa, an endlessly brave nutrition coordinator who is working around the clock to keep famine and disease at bay in Gaza, where Israel’s nonstop military attacks have caused needless suffering and loss to Palestinians. Champions like Ofir. She survived the surprise Hamas attack, and in the many months that followed, unable to return to her home or her village, served fellow survivors, helping set up therapy and coping spaces. We share Ofir and Wafaa’s stories, along with others from the heart of the humanitarian response in Palestine, Lebanon, and Israel, where innocent communities are now at even greater risk as hostilities significantly escalate between warring factions. These moving testimonies and stories come from partners of GlobalGiving, which has to date supported more than 28 life-saving organizations working in the region thanks to generous donors to our crisis relief fund. Please consider making a gift to the fund or to a featured organization to ensure this vital work can go on. https://bit.ly/48RO1Mz
