Divide & Conquer
The United States & Beyond…
By the end of the year, we found ourselves responding in various regions of the world at the same time– Ukraine, the Caribbean, Middle East, South Asia, and the United States. This became an unprecedented moment for us which meant that our limited supplies would become even more limited; and our Frontlines Directors leading the ground missions had to divide and conquer. Shortly after Hurricane Fiona devastated Puerto Rico, Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida; the war in Ukraine was intensifying; the gang violence in Haiti had reached an all time high; and our team stationed in Puerto Rico were not only responding to the devastation there, but were personally impacted. Despite all of these challenges, we managed to bring life-saving support to 25,000+ Deaf & Hard-of-hearing people worldwide.
