Several Polonia leaders and friends are offering help to Polish families affected by the Hurricane Harvey.
Ośrodki polonijne w Stanach Zjednoczonych organizują punkty zbioru darów dla polonii houstońskiej dotkniętej kataklizmem. Patryk Misiewicz z Miami organizuje pomoc na Wschodnim Wybrzeżu, a Kasia Żak i Polish Club in Denver organizują punkt zbiórki niezbędnych artykułów. Polonia w Chicago już wysłała dwa samochody z żywnością i odzieżą. Potrzebujemy ochotników do pomocy!

I don’t know where to post this, but wanted to get the word out: not everyone knows that involving a Realtor in finding a rental home is FREE. If you lost a home and are looking to rent a house, don’t hesitate to reach out to any Realtor for help. We have access to the largest database of rental homes and apartments and can help you find what you need. Please remember- this service is and has always been free to the tenant.
Yvonne also offered help translating or filing paperwork. Thank you!
