Hurricane Dorian.

After a natural dike broke, water from the Lake of Two Mountains came
rushing into the community of Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac, Quebec, flooding it
within minutes. Evacuation began immediately; many families only had time to
get in the car and go, leaving their homes and valuables behind.
Wellness Advocate Agatha Labeck and her team provided and distributed 72-
Hour Emergency Relief Hygiene Kits in the area. Agatha noted, “People were very
welcoming—despite their misfortune—and were happy to receive any help.”
A total of 1,250 kits were sent to Canada, assisting those in Quebec and
Ottawa. The people of Ste-Marthe-sur-le-Lac are working hard to recover
their homes and rebuild their community.

Dr. Priya Advani and team stepped
up again in 2019 to distribute kits
