Trinity Foundation
Funds Angola Project:
Trinity Foundation of Hope for Natural Disaster Victims provided
funding for the Angola Project held by Young Positive Minds, Inc.
Trinity Foundation of Hope participated in helping over 100 students
visit the Louisiana Penitentiary to gain an understanding of the
consequences of their negative and maladaptive behaviors. Children
were able to meet and speak with inmates and discuss the reasons why
they were incarcerated and how their journey has been since
incarceration. Young Positive Minds, Inc. would like to thank the
organization for making this trip possible and for the dedication and
support the foundation provides to this organization.

Trinity Foundation
of Hope For Natural Disaster Victims launches "Shelter the Cities" Project:
Trinity Foundation of Hope is launching its “Shelter the Cities”
project beginning March 2024. This project is seeking to raise $20,000
to continue providing temporary assistance to communities impacted by
natural disasters through food assistance, temporary shelter
assistance, clothing to children and families. In our service to this
unique population, we have seen how victims who experience
homelessness are often the most impacted and severely affected group
during and after a natural disaster. While there is little to
no immediate resources or services often available for this
population, Trinity Foundation of Hope for Natural Disaster Victims
continues to make a big impact by providing immediate services and
resources to communities across the United States who have frequently
failed to adequately address the needs of disaster populations in
disaster response and recovery. Trinity Foundation of Hope for Natural
Disaster Victims strives to promote the message that communities must
build multisector collaborative relationships and ensure that service
providers for disaster victims are adequately resourced. However,
constraints in funding and staffing in many businesses and
organizations around the United States, combined with a lack of
guidance about how to achieve an integrated approach to disaster
response and services for victims have hindered communities' ability
to accomplish these goals. With continue help from the public and
private donors, Trinity Foundation of Hope for Natural Disaster
Victims will continue to provide immediate relief to victims during
and after a natural disaster event. Go to "Donate" page to make
donation. Trinity Foundation of Hope for
Natural Disaster Victims wants to express a sincere “Thank You” for
your donations and ability to impact the lives of others. You are appreciated!

Heat, Health,
and Wellness Initiative Needs Your Help!
Trinity Foundation of Hope for Natural Disaster Victims is raising
money for our Heat, Health, and Wellness Initiative, with a focus on
prevention of Heat-Related Illness (HRI or Hyperthermia) among older
adults living in communities faced by extreme heat exposure. Our
foundation is seeking sponsorship to make a significant impact by
providing box fans and cases of water to help beat the heat among
older adults!
The National Weather Service Heat Index Chart has
classified the heat index values into three levels based on the
potential risk of adverse health effects. The “Caution” level includes
heat index values ranging from 80°F to 90°F, the “Extreme Caution”
level includes values between 90°F and 103°F, and the “Danger” level
includes values between 103°F and 124°F
(https://www.weather.gov/ffc/hichart). The heat index has shown to
increase each year, especially during the summer, which can have an
adverse health impact on older adults. In addition, our foundation
recognizes this severe impact can lead to a medical condition, called
Hyperthermia, that occurs when the body temperature rises
significantly above the normal range—typically above 104°F (40°C)—due
to the body’s inability to dissipate heat effectively (National
Institute of Health, 2025).
Your belief in our mission is the
foundation to continue providing immediate humanitarian relief efforts
to those impacted by natural and man-made disasters. We are excited to
seek your sponsorship and generosity as this will be instrumental in
helping older adults reside in cooler environments, which can likely
reduce the impact of extreme heat exposure and health-related illness.
There is no donation too big or too small to contribute to
our initiative! Donate today and make a difference!
To sponsor this initiative, please click on the "Donate"
tab and then click the secure Paypal "Donate"
button. In addition, donations may be mailed to Trinity Foundation of
Hope for Natural Disaster Victims, 4400 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy, Ste.
A #324, Lafayette, Louisiana, 70508.
Your generosity
during this critical time will make a real difference in the lives of
those affected by this climate crisis. Thank you for your compassion
and support!
