As the emergency response gives way to recovery, children need more than a safe place to stay.

They need a way back to learning, familiar routines, and the people who help them grow. Help HCC support the journey back to school. First comes the urgent work: getting people to safety, finding shelter, making sure families have food. Then comes a quieter question for every child whose life has been disrupted: When can I go back to school? For some children affected by the floods, the answer is not simple. A school may be damaged. Books and clothes may be gone. A family may be living somewhere unfamiliar. Returning to class can take practical help, time, and steady encouragement. That is why education becomes a priority in recovery. HCC’s longer-term work includes helping children replace school essentials, access the support they need, and continue learning while staying connected to family and community wherever possible. It is the kind of commitment that lasts beyond the emergency. Please donate to HCC’s flood response. Help make a return to school possible.
