HUS352 Interventions for Families with Children.

Advocacy
By: Jason White Project

2. Project Hurricane Sandy:
Helping the families & Individuals whose
lives have been disrupted.
•When Jason and I first started thinking about our project we were in many
different avenues of what to do, It wasn’t until after Hurricane Sandy that we got
our inspiration. A local restaurant: The Courtyard Café, heard about our project
from a former classmate, and was more than excited to help us. With the use of
their facility and the ability to advertise through them, social network sites, the
radio station and TV; our efforts to help was just beginning. The Red Cross was
working very hard everyday to provide relief to the victims of Hurricane Sandy all
over the East Coast.
•We collected mostly clothing, blankets, shoes and monetary donations that we
will be giving to the Red Cross to go towards our effort to help. We are still
getting donations as we speak. 

3. Hurricane Sandy’s affect on Maine:
•Sandy tore through the East
Coast leaving many without
power, major flooding and
complete devastation for some
families, whose homes had
been destroyed.
•The devastation caused by
Hurricane Sandy, brought
much attention to the east
coast and we got to see the
real meaning of helping
your neighbor.
• Through fundraising ,donations and volunteers; people from all over are coming to the
Eastern states to help re build and provide support for those whose lives have been affected.
By offering places to stay, shelter and clothing.

4. The American Red Cross
“Non-Profit Organization:
The American Red Cross
prevents and alleviates human
suffering in the face of
emergencies by mobilizing the
power of volunteers and the
generosity of donors.”
• The Red Cross Pine Tree
Chapter covers the Aroostook
county area and there are
offices located in Bangor &
Caribou.
• We have contacted them to
pick up our donations but we
are still receiving donations, so
we have not set an official pick https://www.facebook.com/redcross

10. Jason:
I could say that I learned a lot
during this project. One of the most
surprising is that the paper and the
presentation themselves became less of
a priority as the project began to
evolve. By that I mean that we were
very concerned about each portion of the
project initially. Looking back, after we

11. Esha:
I learned so much from this project and
as Jason said it became less of a project as we
continued into it. One thing that this project
has taught me is how to be more thankful, the
people affected by hurricane sandy will have a
long road ahead of them to recover, and I am
very thankful that Jason and I got to be a part
of it. I think you learn to value life and things
you have when you are hands on in a project
like this. We are glad that people in our
