Total Loss Programme

It’s hard to know where to start when you have lost everything.

While it is impossible to help people totally rebuild their homes, given the vast cost of each home, ECRA looked for ways to assist those with total losses so they could start to plan for the future. This included site clearance, engineering advice, architects plans, and other first steps towards whatever comes next. ECRA worked to ensure this programme complemented but did not duplicate the Home Rebuild programmes being run by other organisations such as Hope Town United.

Impact

ECRA were delighted to assist 7 individuals with a total amount of $63,000 in receipted expenses.

“On behalf of our family, I would like to send a heartfelt thanks to ECRA for the assistance we received after the most difficult time of our lives. After losing our home and business to Hurricane Dorian, ECRA renewed our faith in humanity, the outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming. … When we received support through the Total Loss programme, to say we were elated would be an understatement. Those funds have offered us the opportunity to get building supplies to get our foundation started. We are truly blessed and grateful for ECRA, and to all the donors for helping our family.”
