 <p><em>Talking with someone trained in emergency counseling — even having a hand to hold — can give children hope.</em></p> 
</blockquote>
<p>Something as basic as a packet of art supplies or a picture book can help kids gain a sense of normalcy. And talking with someone trained in emergency&amp;nbsp;counseling — even having a hand to hold — can give children hope.</p>
<p>It is critical that kids in crisis get back to school this fall, so their educations won't be disrupted. Helping enable kids to build their futures is not only good for children individually — it's also good for their communities.</p>

<div class=&quot;vestpocket&quot; vest-pocket=&quot;&quot;></div>
<p>Above all, kids need to know that the adults around them are working toward solutions and that their needs are important.</p>
<p><strong>You can help! But do it carefully</strong></p>
<p><span>The most effective way to help with the urgent work that needs to be done when a disaster strikes is to make a financial donation.</span></p>
<p>But it is important to give responsibly. The Justice Department's National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF), established after Hurricane Katrina, has<span>&amp;nbsp;</span><a href=&quot;https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/tips-avoiding-fraudulent-charitable-contribution-schemes&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;>issued a warning of charity fraud following Hurricane Harvey.</a></p>
<p>Where should you give? Even in a fast-moving emergency, it’s worth finding out whether your donation is going where it will do the most good.</p>
<p><strong>In a disaster, choose the charity that will make the best use of your donation</strong></p>
<p><a href=&quot;https://www.charitynavigator.org/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;>Charity Navigator<span>&amp;nbsp;</span></a>evaluates charities; it offers a<span>&amp;nbsp;</span><a href=&quot;https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&amp;amp;cpid=5239&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;>list of organizations</a><span>&amp;nbsp;</span>that are responding to Hurricane Harvey. The Federal Trade Commission provides<span>&amp;nbsp;</span><a href=&quot;https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0074-giving-charity#Checklist&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;>advice on finding a charity and a checklist to help donors avoid fraud.</a></p>
<p>Before donating to an organization, ask these questions:</p>
<ul> 
 <li><span>Is the&amp;nbsp;organization open about its finances and financial health, with easy access to annual reports, statements and forms?</span></li> 
 <li>Does the charity spend money efficiently, mostly on programs that fulfill its stated mission — the work you care about?</li> 
 <li>Are donations to the organization tax-deductible? You can&amp;nbsp;<a href=&quot;https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;>check the Internal Revenue Service</a><span>&amp;nbsp;</span>to find out.</li> 
</ul>
<p>For UNICEF USA, the answer to each of the questions above is: Yes.</p>
<p>Wherever you choose to donate, you will do your best for the desperate people in the path of Hurricane Harvey by donating to a charity that provides aid efficiently and responsibly — and reflects your own values.</p>

 <p><em>Talking with someone trained in emergency counseling — even having a hand to hold — can give children hope.</em></p>

<p>Something as basic as a packet of art supplies or a picture book can help kids gain a sense of normalcy. And talking with someone trained in emergency&nbsp;counseling — even having a hand to hold — can give children hope.</p>
<p>It is critical that kids in crisis get back to school this fall, so their educations won't be disrupted. Helping enable kids to build their futures is not only good for children individually — it's also good for their communities.</p>

</blockquote>
<div class="vestpocket" vest-pocket=""></div>
<p>Above all, kids need to know that the adults around them are working toward solutions and that their needs are important.</p>
<p><strong>You can help! But do it carefully</strong></p>
<p><span>The most effective way to help with the urgent work that needs to be done when a disaster strikes is to make a financial donation.</span></p>
<p>But it is important to give responsibly. The Justice Department's National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF), established after Hurricane Katrina, has<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/tips-avoiding-fraudulent-charitable-contribution-schemes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">issued a warning of charity fraud following Hurricane Harvey.</a></p>
<p>Where should you give? Even in a fast-moving emergency, it’s worth finding out whether your donation is going where it will do the most good.</p>
<p><strong>In a disaster, choose the charity that will make the best use of your donation</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.charitynavigator.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Charity Navigator<span>&nbsp;</span></a>evaluates charities; it offers a<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&amp;cpid=5239" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">list of organizations</a><span>&nbsp;</span>that are responding to Hurricane Harvey.

<p>Before donating to an organization, ask these questions:</p>
<ul> 
 <li><span>Is the&nbsp;organization open about its finances and financial health, with easy access to annual reports, statements and forms?</span></li> 
 <li>Does the charity spend money efficiently, mostly on programs that fulfill its stated mission — the work you care about?</li> 
 <li>Are donations to the organization tax-deductible? You can&nbsp;<a href="https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">check the Internal Revenue Service</a><span>&nbsp;</span>to find out.</li> 
</ul>
<p>For UNICEF USA, the answer to each of the questions above is: Yes.</p>
<p>Wherever you choose to donate, you will do your best for the desperate people in the path of Hurricane Harvey by donating to a charity that provides aid efficiently and responsibly — and reflects your own values.</p>
