The Coast Guard Foundation has started a fund to assist Coast Guard members and their families impacted by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. The Disaster Relief and Response Fund will collect donation for roughly 5,000 Coast Guard members stationed in areas affected by the recent hurricanes.
“These brave men and women are working around the clock in high winds and torrential rains to help those in the Houston and surrounding areas to higher ground,” said Coast Guard Foundation President Susan Ludwig in a statement. “While they are working tirelessly to rescue more than 4,000 people, so far, for many, their own homes and possessions have been destroyed by the most dangerous hurricane to hit the U.S. in over a decade.”
