Hungarians in Florida, Carolinas collecting donations for Hungarians impacted by natural disasters

Local diaspora leaders said on Saturday that Hungarians living in Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina have launched donation drives to help those impacted by natural disasters in the last three weeks.

Hungarians in Carolina

Zsuzsi Kozma, head of the Carolinas Hungarian Group (Karolinai Magyar Csoport), said several families had contacted the group after last month’s hurricane and floods.

She said the organisation had offered to donate 3,000 dollars to those impacted by the disasters, which was later doubled by small private donations. She said some Hungarians in North and South Carolina were still without internet, though they have had their power restored.

Meanwhile, over a dozen Hungarian organisations in Florida have launched a donation drive through the Hungarian Community Church for those impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
