Superstorm Sandy has affected so many of our students’ families in the North Eastern United States. Many are still without power and/or basic services. Many students, faculty and staff of The Catholic University of America have come forward to ask, “What can we do to help?” 

At this time, States and local communities involved have not yet assessed the most pressing needs. As we await more details, the CUA community can donate monetarily through Catholic Charities, donate blood on campus through the American Red Cross, and offer prayers for all those affected.
 
As local communities make their needs known, CUACares will communicate to the entire CUA community these other opportunities to donate and contribute. We will do our best to work with agencies that are helping people in all of the affected area. Some students have already begun fundraising for their own cities and towns working with other reputable organizations. We hope to have links to those organizations in the near future.  
 
Finally, let us pray for all those who are reaching out to help and especially for those who are hurting and whose lives are in disarray. As the superstorm moves off the headlines, their needs will continue be the main focus of their lives and ours. Let us continue to pray for all affected by this disaster.
