Hurricanes Irma & Maria caused extensive damage of epic proportions in much of Puerto Rico, the British Virgin Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It will be a long road of recovery for many families. But there are ways to restore hope to children.

​

The road to a child's emotional recovery after a traumatic event, starts with routines. A storybook for bedtime, a new pair of pajamas, toothbrush/toothpaste, a journal to record thoughts or a new coloring book and crayons as an avenue of self-expression. These activities seem basic until you don't have them.
