Hurricane Helene & Milton
Hurricane Helene has become the second deadliest hurricane to strike the mainland U.S., leaving a path of devastation across the Southeast, compounded by Hurricane Milton’s Category 3 impact just days later. Millions are without power, and communities are dealing with catastrophic landslides, severe flooding, and destroyed homes and businesses.
Greater Good Charities is on the ground, delivering essential relief with 130 trucks loaded with $7.8 million in food, water, hygiene products, pet supplies, and more to over 50 of the hardest-hit areas, including remote communities. We’re also supporting impacted beekeepers with bee pollen substitute, sugar, and syrup.
“BIG TALK, little girl”
-Claudia Kate
I launched my first blog with the intention of shedding light on important issues and fostering empathy and understanding among readers. Through my journey, I've dedicated myself to studying psychology to better serve the youth in my community. I've actively participated in activism, protests, and volunteered my time and resources to support others. I've become a vocal advocate for various causes that demand attention.
Now, I'm channeling my education and passion to bring attention to the issues facing my hometown and beyond. I aim to amplify voices that may go unheard and shine a light on topics that require more awareness and action. While it's not the responsibility of those experiencing difficulties to educate others, I recognize the importance of fostering understanding and awareness. My blog serves as a platform to delve deeper into the issues I address, providing a starting point for those seeking to learn and engage further.
