Your Support Gave Hope to Families Affected by Hurricane Ian

In September 2022, Hurricane Ian devastated the Western region of Cuba with 200-kilometers-per-hourwinds and massive flooding, leaving a trail of destruction as it crossed the country. The winds and flooding damaged housing, as well as access to drinking water and food. More than 3 million people were affected.
