United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA) launched the United for New Orleans Relief Fund to support victims, their families and partner organizations assisting in the aftermath of the New Year’s Day attack on New Orleans.
The public can contribute online at www.UnitedWaySELA.org/UnitedForNOLA.
The fund ensures that 100% of donations will go directly to those affected to meet urgent needs in collaboration with local organizations and service providers.
Michael Williamson, UWSELA president and CEO, said in times like these, we must come together as a community to support one another and stand United with the city.
For those experiencing emotional distress, UWSELA urges the public to call 988, the national Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, to access free and confidential mental health support, available 24/7. Additionally, resources are available online at www.ovc.ojp.gov/help-for-victims/terrorism-and-mass-violence for victims of terrorism and mass violence.
