Live Updates

GEM’s interactive real-time updates for donors let you see where we’re at in the mission continuously with stats, allocation, and distribution numbers. Donors can donate to a mission and feel engaged by seeing the results immediately.

GEM is proud to partner with @wearegoodera on the Blue Sky Mission, designed to strengthen disaster response and recovery efforts before disaster strikes.

2025 is expected to be an above-average year, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasting heightened activity. The need for coordinated relief efforts is constant. That’s why GEM relies on corporate partners who support us through cash contributions, in-kind donations, and volunteer time to help us stay mission-ready.

The most impactful relief work happens before a disaster hits. That’s why we invite you to join us and Goodera during this Blue Sky Mission to help communities prepare, respond, and recover faster.

Yesterday, as the 2025 hurricane season approaches, Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) and @bethennyfrankel’s #BStrong joined forces with @miamidadecounty, @sflcaribbeanstrong, @flewthecoop_ , and an incredible coalition of regional and international partners to officially launch a Coordinated Plan of Action—strengthening disaster preparedness and first-response efforts across the U.S. and Caribbean.

At GEM’s Hurricane Preparedness Press Conference, GEM leadership and Emergency Response Directors were joined by Miami-Dade County Mayor @mayordlc Daniella Levine Cava, @marlonhill of Caribbean Strong, Hon. R. Oliver Mair of Jamaica, and the Caribbean Consular Corps Miami (CCC) representing Antigua & Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Lucia, and Trinidad & Tobago—united under the shared motto: “Strength in Unity.”
“GEM has proven itself to be incredibly nimble. With support from corporate sponsors, GEM provides emergency kits almost immediately after a storm, sets up distribution hubs in affected areas, and can even fly in aid via helicopter,” said Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

New this year: GEM’s animal welfare arm Flew The Coop® is expanding its mission to protect pets during disasters—launching a new national partnership with FidoAlert, the leading free lost pet alert network. 🐾 Families can now sign up for FREE lifesaving pet resources before hurricane season at www.fidoalert.com/flewthecoop

🌺 **A New Beginning for Lahaina Families** 🌺
This week we got to see some beautiful impact of our combined efforts for Maui fire survivors. GEM in partnership with @stableroadfoundation & @mauibrewingco came together to deliver hope and housing — donating 7 fully furnished ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) to families who lost everything in the Lahaina wildfires.

🙏 A special mahalo to Castleblock for donating one of the units and to Treecovery for providing native Hawaiian trees and beautiful landscaping that now surrounds these homes.

🏠 Each unit was placed directly on the family’s own property — giving them a safe, stable, and fully livable space to call home while they begin the long process of rebuilding. Helping families return to their land is not just healing — it’s a long-term, cost-effective housing solution that supports true recovery.

Together, we are rebuilding lives — one family, one home at a time.

From Ashes, We Rise — Together

On January 8, 2025, wildfire tore through Southern California, leaving behind scorched earth, shattered homes, and families clinging to hope with nothing left but the clothes on their backs. But today, something extraordinary has taken root.

Global Empowerment Mission (GEM), in partnership with Team Rubicon @teamrubicon, CalOES @cal_oes, and Los Angeles County @countyofla has opened a 340,000 sq. ft. recovery warehouse — a beacon of hope built for the brave families who lost everything, and a powerful symbol that healing is possible.

This is more than just a building.

It’s where donations become warm beds for children who’ve been sleeping on floors. Where volunteers pack not just boxes, but compassion and dignity. Where survivors hear, maybe for the first time, “You’re not alone. We’re here for you.”

And now, we’re calling on you to join us — because recovery takes a village, and every village needs its heartbeat.

Here’s what we need to keep that heartbeat strong:

MUSCLE – Volunteers and hands willing to help and serve.
FUNDING – To keep trucks moving, shelves stocked, and doors open.
MATERIAL – The goods that help families feel like a family again.
👉 Every dollar, every item, every effort matters.

There are still mothers who haven’t been able to cook a meal for their children. Father’s sleeping in cars, wondering what comes next. Children dreaming of a bed they can call their own again. Let’s be the answer to their prayers. Let’s be their sign of hope.

If you’re an NGO needing support: [email protected]
If you’re a donor, this is your moment to make real, lasting impact.

Recovery isn’t just a moment. It’s a movement. And it starts with you.

Join us.
Help California heal.
Help empower families to rise up.
Help hope return home. To learn more and how you can help, please visit the link in our bio section above.
