Katrina Nurses Fund
In the wake of the catastrophic events surrounding Hurricane Katrina – the evacuations, the disruption of work, lives and families, and the tremendous human suffering, the American Nurses Foundation created the Katrina Nurses Fund in response to many requests for a way "for nurses to take care of their own". One hundred percent (100%) of all funds donated to the American Nurses Foundation for this fund are being contributed to assist nurses in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Additionally funds will be provided to assist nurses opening their homes for families or evacuee nurses.
ANF is pleased to announce that $248,558 has been distributed to the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama to assist nurses who have had their lives disrupted by Hurricane Katrina.
The community spirit that prevails when devastation caused by weather events, such as Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama is an inspiration. And, we always see nurses in service aiding those in need. Nurses are individuals who have great pride in and commitment to their profession. Nurses are on the frontlines, in the face of despair, restoring well-being and the human spirit.
ANF is still accepting donations to Katrina Nurses Fund to assist those nurses who are still rebuilding their lives.
Contributions can be made to the Katrina Nurses Fund, by making your tax-deductible donation to the "Katrina Nurse Fund" c/o The American Nurse Foundation, 8515 Georgia Avenue, Suite 400, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
