Samaritan's Purse Sends Disaster Relief Unit to Aid Michigan Families<\/h1>\r\n \r\n

Disaster Response Teams to Help Families Mud-Out Flooded Homes and Salvage Personal Belongings<\/h2>\r\n \r\n

BOONE, N.C., May 22, 2020—<\/strong>Less than 24 hours after Michigan\u2019s Tittabawassee River crested at a historic level of 35 feet, Samaritan\u2019s Purse disaster response specialists were on the ground, working alongside church partners and local government officials to determine the areas of greatest need. Days of heavy rainfall saturated the area and caused two dams along the river to fail\u2014displacing thousands of Midland area families. A Disaster Relief Unit, a tractor-trailer stocked with supplies, is on the way and will serve as the base of operations, equipping Samaritan's Purse volunteers from the local region to provide immediate relief to impacted families.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

“Thousands of families are displaced by this devastating flooding\u2014bringing loss and fear to Michigan residents in an already uncertain time,”<\/i> dijo Franklin Graham<\/a>, el presidente de Samaritan's Purse. “Please pray for God\u2019s peace to cover those who are impacted, and that our teams would help them be able to return home quickly while demonstrating the love and hope of Jesus Christ.”<\/i><\/p>\r\n \r\n

While Samaritan\u2019s Purse monitors the impact of the coronavirus pandemic around the world, natural disasters continue to devastate local communities. The North Carolina-based organization is tailoring its response to safely provide critical relief to affected families. Teams of local volunteers will go out each day to help people mud-out their homes, clear debris, tarp roofs and salvage any personal belongings that may have survived the floodwaters.<\/p>\r\n \r\n
