From people who came through it

  • โ€œA year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. It was the earthquake and the aftershocks and I couldn't see past it. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You get yourself back in pieces. You're not on your own.โ€

    Kelsey Co ยท been through disaster survivors
  • โ€œWhen the water comes in, you will think it is the end. It is not. You will lose things, maybe everything on the ground floor. You will be angry and tired. But you will find a dry corner and a neighbour with a spare wrench. Take the help. Write down what you lost for the insurance. And do not forget to eat. The water goes down eventually. I promise.โ€

    Priscila R ยท been through disaster survivors
  • โ€œTo whoever needs this: I was in the same place eighteen months ago. A typhoon and the roof, every single day. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart. From someone who gets it.โ€

    Hector C. ยท been through disaster survivors
  • โ€œHey, I know it's early and everything feels upside down. That's normal. I've been through the earthquake and the flood. The first few weeks are the hardest, but you'll find your footing. Accept help when it's offered. Take it slow, day by day. And if you need to talk, I'm here. You're not on your own.โ€
