Denver—The news is spreading across the entire United States about Hurricane Ian and the damage it has done, not only in the loss of homes, land and property but in the loss of human lives. But before that was Hurricane Fiona, and while that hurricane has left the news in the aftermath of more present storms, parts of the United States, most notably Puerto Rico, are still dealing with the devastation of one hurricane on top of another.
PATH Intl. recognizes the impact of these storms, including the impact on PATH Intl. Member Centers. Many centers are now suffering the damage caused by high winds and water creating flooding. Many have lost the stables housing their horses. Some have trekked miles with panicked horses in order to keep those horses safe. And some will have to shut down their services until they can clean up, rebuild and safely offer the equine-assisted services to those who need it most.
PATH Intl. has established the PATH Intl. Disaster Relief Fund to aid centers in good standing to regain hope—and their centers—after the devastation they have experienced.
If you know of a center in need, consider having them fill out the application located here: https://pathintl.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/PATH-Intl-Disaster-Relief-Fund-Application.pdf.
If you are someone who wants to help the participants keep going to the centers, and help the equines, volunteers and professionals who serve those participants, consider donating to the PATH Intl. Disaster Relief Fund here: https://sforce.co/3CkJQdR.
Thank you for your generosity.
