“The Duke and Duchess said to the Genesis team today that their hearts remain with the community, with the families Genesis serves, and with the volunteers and workers on the ground who selflessly provide care and support to those in need,” a spokesperson for the Sussexes shared with HuffPost, adding that the couple was “heartbroken to see communities across Texas still struggling to access the very basic resources we all need — water, heat, food, shelter.
Meghan and Harry’s donation will help the organization with immediate needs, roof damage and additional repairs at a transitional housing facility called Annie’s House. Jan Langbein, CEO of Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support, spoke about the royals’ involvement in a statement Sunday. “Not only will this gift provide for our critical needs,” she said, “it shines an international spotlight on violence against women and children, letting survivors know that they are not alone.”
Today, the news of our damages reached Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex! Through their nonprofit, they are supporting us by replacing the roof at our transitional housing facility & helping us meet our immediate needs. THANK YOU, ARCHEWELL FOUNDATION!
