Evacuations Costing Buckner Thousands

We need special help during this hurricane season!

Typically, we ask for disaster relief to help offset the suffering of affected children and families in areas we serve. But with two evacuations of coastal areas where we minister in just two weeks because of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, we’re asking for your help now.

We’ve relocated dozens of children in our care, and the necessary staff to care for them. In addition to moving residents and caregivers from Buckner Children’s Village in Beaumont, Texas, we also have helped dozens of foster families relocate during the storms. We also evacuated our elder residents from Calder Woods’ skilled care and memory support. This has come at a cost of thousands of dollars.

I’d like you to consider giving a gift to help us offset the high and unexpected expense of these relocations as we’ve provided shelter for children and elders in our care. Your gift will go into a special account earmarked for emergency relief for our residents and every penny you give will go straight toward relief efforts.

Please follow the link here to make a donation. We do need your help. These disasters were, of course, unplanned and your gift will help us continue to provide safety and security for our kids and elders.

If you cannot give, please commit to pray for our staff, elders and children. These emergencies not only come at a financial cost, but our staff is weary from travel and the additional care. Please pray for them and for our elders and children, who experience anxiety when we make these moves.

Thank you for your prayers and partnership in ministry.
