After the disaster, we lost our vehicles and all of our equipment, which meant we lost our business, and our home, which was our sanctuary. We had built it, and created a landscape that inspired us. After the trauma of losing so much, I needed counseling which also understood the tremendous difficulty we faced in putting the pieces of our lives back together. I just wanted to thank your team for all the ways you have supported those of us who needed extra help in this season.
While many organizations get prepared for disasters by following helpful guidelines from their local government agencies, getting insurance and response policies in place, and stocking supplies, too often senior and management leaders are unaware of the toll disasters will take on them personally, on the collective spirit of their organization or community, or on their families. This is where your contribution to ICTG makes the greatest difference to heal and restore leaders, their organizations, and communities after disaster.
Gifts to ICTG:
- Stabilize leaders and their community or faith-based organizations
- Help them to assess impacts to their organization and/or community
- Help them to assess impacts to their selves and their families
- Help them to strategize optimal care for their selves, their families, their organizations, and their community - recognizing that each requires different forms of care
- Help them to strategize effective plans for achieving their mission within a post-disaster setting
How do your gifts do all of this in such meaningful ways? By providing personal, caring, and skilled presence; online and in-person education; remote or in-person coaching sessions; collaborations to provide teams of caring agents, which may include psychologists, spiritual directors, and organizational coaches; and by working with disaster relief agency partners to assess unique community challenges and alleviate local pressures.
Thank you for your generosity! Your support is making a great difference. Here is what leaders are saying when they ask us to thank you:
