In High River, we know what it is like to have our town devastated by natural disaster.  

We know what it is like to have our homes and town destroyed.  

When we see the pictures of the devastation in Port aux Basques, Nfld., we are not naïve.

We know the feelings, the frustration, the hopes and the fears, and the deep, deep sadness.

We feel what they are feeling in our very bones, because we have been there.

We send our love and our prayers to all those who are dealing with the destruction of Hurricane Fiona.

But let's do more.  Let's send our help.

The United Church of Canada Foundation is accepting donations to help support the area’s rebuild as the longer-term needs become clear. Your donation to the Ann Baker Estate Trust for Emergency Relief in Canada will continue to provide flexible, reliable funding even after the media coverage wanes and as need for resources fluctuates. We will update you on the situation as on-the-ground partnership information becomes available. You can make your gift online here: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/75488

I invite you to join me in making a donation.

Rev. Susan Lukey, High River United Church
