Yes, I stand with Coast Guard Hurricane Florence responders! Accept my gift to the Disaster Relief and Response Fund today

Friends, since Hurricane Florence made landfall September 14 we have been watching in awe at the Coast Guard’s response... so far these heroes have rescued more than 1,100 people and 400 pets.

Throughout it all, I have been in contact with Coast Guard leadership and today, one week after the hurricane's landfall, I received the awful news that now the rescue efforts are winding down these heroes are returning to their devastated homes – many have lost everything.

We are activating our Disaster Relief and Response Fund to provide assistance to these families. I urge you to donate right away so we may help the Coast Guard families impacted by this disaster.

Semper Paratus,
Susan P. Ludwig
President
