"Los libros de autoayuda y el marketing Mister Wonderful nos obligan a pensar que la felicidad es responsabilidad de cada cual: si quieres, puedes; todo irá bien… “No es cierto. No podemos decir ahora mismo a un ucraniano que relativice los problemas, lo que necesita es que se acabe la guerra. Una persona que vive justa con su sueldo y trabaja de las 8 a las 20 horas necesita que mejoren sus condiciones laborales. He comprobado que el contexto es clave, tenemos que luchar para conseguir condiciones más justas y dejar de banda el discurso que dice que la felicidad depende de nosotros mismos”."

100% of Donations marked “Rowena Fire Relief Recovery Fund” will go directly to help individuals and families impacted by the fire. While much of the support will aid those who have lost their homes, funds may also be distributed to meet a broader range of identified needs as part of a coordinated community recovery effort.

We are working closely with team members from Wasco County and Mid-Columbia Economic Development, who are developing an application and evaluation process for distributing funds. This process is based on a national long-term recovery model.

A key component of this approach includes forming an Unmet Needs Roundtable, a collaborative group of case managers and local partners who will work together to ensure donations reach those with verified, ongoing needs.

Thank you for your compassion and continued support. Together, we can help our neighbors rebuild and recover.
