Here in New York City, we have weathered an overwhelming storm. Throughout the region, streets and homes lie in ruin. Many of us are without electricity and water. The infrastructure we took for granted is gone, and it is hard to make life feel normal. We worry for our neighbors and loved ones.
In Haiti, where we work in partnership with the women of KOFAVIV, a grassroots organization, people are also reeling in the aftermath of the hurricane. Our friends at KOFAVIV asked us to share this message of support.
Dear friends at MADRE,
Each time we face disaster here in Haiti, you are here for us. Helping with the resources we need to reach the most vulnerable families with food, clean water and medical attention.
But today it is we who are thinking of you, as we watched this giant storm move from our home to yours. Here in Haiti many people have lost even their flimsy tents and their few belongings, and there is terrible flooding. We've seen the images of the flooding from this same storm in your communities. Haiti is not New York, but disaster can be frightening wherever we are.
You have shown us great generosity during our worst times of crisis. I hope you'll allow us, as thanks, to share with you some of what we have learned from moving through those crises:
Like us, in the days ahead, you will need to rebuild from this storm. We are not able to send you the tools and supplies you may need. But we are sending you our friendship and our thanks for your generosity in your time of need.
In friendship,
Malya Villard-Appolon and Eramithe Delva

Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
