As the storm began developing earlier this week, Samaritan's Purse prepositioned two Disaster Relief Units in Albany, Georgia to ensure a swift entry into badly impacted areas.<\/p>\r\n \r\n

“Hurricane Idalia has caused devastating flooding and wind damage across the Southeast,”<\/i> dijo Franklin Graham<\/a>, el presidente de Samaritan's Purse. “We are praying for everyone impacted by this Category 3 storm, and we are sending out teams of volunteers to help homeowners start to pick up the pieces. Most importantly, we want to remind these families that God loves them.”<\/i><\/p>\r\n \r\n
