MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP 

When CORE jumped into the unknown space 

of testing in the beginning of the COVID-19 

pandemic, it was with the intention of providing 

this life-saving essential service for a few months. 

As time progressed, it was apparent that CORE’s 

COVID-19 relief could not stop, nor delay but 

instead expand and rapidly evolve to provide 

contact tracing, resource coordination, isolation 

shelters, and cash cards to mothers. Soon, we 

found ourselves providing the highest number of 

tests and vaccines at the largest testing site in the 

world at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. 

In continued response to the COVID-19 pandemic, 

we furthered mobilization efforts in communities 

alongside local partners in 10 U.S. states and in 

Haiti, Brazil, and India. In 2021 alone, our staff 

administered nearly 2 million tests and 2.8 million 

vaccines and provided over 1,000 households with 

resource coordination. We listened, learned, and 

broadened our COVID-19 relief program to equip 

marginalized and vulnerable communities with the 

resources needed to protect themselves from the 

devastation of the virus. 

These most challenging times of 2021 were 

exacerbated by natural disasters. CORE responded 

to major climate disasters, including Hurricane 

Ida in New Orleans, Hurricane Dorian in The 

Bahamas, rare winter tornadoes in Tennessee and 

Kentucky, and a 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Haiti 

that produced a wide array of security challenges. 

CORE mobilized to do what we do best: provide 

support during the greatest times of need, quickly. 

Our locally fueled teams distributed over 16,000 

hygiene kits and provided over 11,500 families 

with cash assistance through vouchers and cash 

for work programs, and removed six football fields of debris stacked 10 feet high. In Haiti, we provided 

mobile health care and supported the main hospital in the South. We repaired water systems and ensured 

thousands of Haitians were able to return safely into their homes by tarping and repairing homes. 

It is now mid 2022, as we write this letter, and we have moved into even more complex crises. The illegal 

invasion by Russia into Ukraine, displacing millions, called on our organization’s ability to respond quickly. 

CORE took its lessons on the ground in COVID-19 in different countries and cities, and shape shifted quickly 

to provide emergency relief to thousands of displaced persons, through shelter support, water, fuel, food, 

blankets, hygiene kits and everything in between. We continue to expand our programs on behalf of both 

IDPs in Ukraine, refugees in Poland and Romania, supporting integration for the displaced with longer term 

programming and reconstruction. Our commitment is to support these large scale crises from disasters, to 

conflicts, and beyond. We are humbled and grateful for your support and trust to continue this work. It is 

your passion and dedication that enables CORE to remain agile and actualize during evolving landscapes 

of crisis. Your generosity and care for underserved communities continue to inspire hope for what we can 

accomplish together. 

On behalf of all those we serve, we thank you for your steadfast support. 

With gratitude,

POINTS OF DISTINCTION 

To help address the gap in global healthcare 

as the pandemic continued to devastate 

vulnerable communities, CORE expanded its 

COVID-19 relief efforts to Brazil, Haiti, India, 

and Puerto Rico. By the end of 2021, CORE 

had surpassed 6 million tests and 2 million 

vaccines administered in marginalized 

communities around the world. 

When Hurricane Ida made landfall in 

Louisiana on August 29, CORE’s regional 

teams responded to provide direct support 

to households in the most impacted 

communities in NOLA’s historically 

underserved parishes with $65,000 worth 

of supplies, 2,000 hot meals, and more 

through continual home visits. 

To reach the city’s most vulnerable 

populations, CORE launched a vaccination 

awareness and acceptance campaign, “It’s 

Time Los Angeles,” alongside community 

leaders to help eliminate barriers and 

vaccine inequity among the hardest hit 

communities, including Latino, Black, 

and Asian American and Pacific Islander 

populations. 

With more than 14,000 migrants living in 

squalid conditions beneath the Del Rio 

International Bridge, CORE mobilized 

quickly in September to Del Rio, Texas, to 

protect Haitian migrants from COVID-19 and 

improve living conditions with food, hygiene 

kits, essential resources, and PPE, as they 

awaited processing at the U.S. border. 

Two years after Hurricane Dorian 

devastated The Bahamas, leaving 70,000 

people homeless and destroying local 

infrastructure, CORE’s recovery efforts 

continued in 2021. In addition to community 

infrastructure efforts, CORE has distributed 

$800,000 in grants to 168 local businesses, 

83 of which are female-led. 

To meet the ever-growing demands of 

COVID-19 and support the communities who 

needed relief the most, CORE scaled up 

from less than 10 headquarters employees in 

March of 2020 to 2,500 staff by May of 2021. 

CORE’s Haitian expert disaster relief staff were cleaning debris 

within hours of the devastating 7.2-magnitude earthquake on 

August 14 in Haiti, and was one of the first organizations on the 

ground in the Sud Department providing emergency medical 

support, debris removal, essential resources, and hygiene & 

shelter kits. By the end of 2021, CORE had removed 83,000 m³ 

of debris and cleared 21 km of roads.

JEANETTE TERREBONNE 

“I’ve lived in Cut Off my entire 

life. It’s a unique little town. It’s 

country. This is home to me.” 

Jeannette Terrebonne was born and raised in Cut Off, Louisiana. “I have my family, I have 

church family, I have meeting families, homemaker families, bible group... Each little group is a 

family to me, so I will never move from here,” she shared. This small fishing town that stretches 

along Louisiana Highway 1 obtained its unique name by early settlers that established a canal 

cutoff to connect Bayou Lafourche to New Orleans to make travel easier. Cut Off is in a very 

high-risk hurricane zone, with nearly 70 hurricanes recorded hitting the area since 1930. 

Coinciding with the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Ida’s 170 mph winds tore 

through Cut Off on August 29, 2021. 

Jeanette toughed it out in her home and quite literally weathered the storm throughout 

Category 4 Hurricane Ida. She lost eight windows, her cars, and her roof suffered severe 

damage. Jeanette had to live in her bathroom for weeks following Ida because the rest of her 

home had been infested by black mold.


“When y’all came in, I was talking on the 

phone and I said, ‘I have three angels 

who just showed up on my porch.’ That’s 

how I felt. I believe in angels. Y’all are 

angels, working to help other people in 

need. Thank you so much.” 

“I’ve been through Katrina, Rita before that, 

and Betsy, but nothing compared to this. 

Nothing. I’ve never seen it this bad. It was 

terrible,” she said. 

and began mobilizing in the hardest-hit 

parishes: Lafourche, Terrebonne, Saint 

John the Baptist, Saint Charles, Orleans, 

and Saint Bernard. 

When asked if she was afraid, Jeanette 

explained she had no time to think of fear. 

“That wind started blowing and we had 

rain pouring in the house and all we could 

do was empty buckets and mop. And 

then when the windows started popping, 

that was terrifying. I just put my hands up 

and said, ‘It’s out of our hands now.’ I just 

prayed for God to help us. He always sees 

me through difficulties, and that was a 

difficult time. I had five people in here with 

me. I’m just thankful that no one was hurt,” 

she said. 

CORE’s New Orleans team responded 

immediately after Hurricane Ida, launching 

a mobile resource team to supply 

homeowners with essential resources, 

such as hygiene kits, cleaning supplies, 

tarping materials, and school bags. With 

the support of local communities, CORE 

emergency response teams identified 

From there, CORE’s Muck and Gut team 

activated their program, removing debris 

and non-salvageable items from homes 

that have been severely damaged and 

exposed to flooding during the disaster. 

The muck and gut process is a critical 

first step in rebuilding any facility once 

it’s weathered a storm. 

“When y’all came in, I was talking on the 

phone and I said, ‘I have three angels 

who just showed up on my porch.’ That’s 

how I felt. I believe in angels. Y’all are 

angels, working to help other people in 

need. Thank you so much,” Jeanette said. 

CORE’s New Orleans team spent a week 

gutting every inch of the mold-infested 

drywall and furniture from Jeanette’s home 

so she could have a clean foundation 

to rebuild and finally move out of her 

bathroom and back into normalcy.

PIERRE PELIGE 

“People didn’t know what was 

going on. Homes were shaking 

and collapsing. We had heard 

about earthquakes, but never 

experienced one.” 

Within hours of the 7.2- magnitude earthquake that shook Haiti’s southern coast on August 14, 

2021, CORE activated its emergency response program to address the most urgent needs of the 

communities hit hardest by the disaster. 

For CORE, (formerly J/P HRO), Haiti is at the heart of our organization, as our mission began in 

response to the horrific 2010 earthquake that devastated the nation’s capital. After over a decade 

of work in the country, this moment felt very much like déjà vu. As a result of the initial quake and 

five subsequent 5.0+ magnitude aftershocks, an estimated 73,000 homes were destroyed and 

46,000 suffered damages. Conservative estimates tell us that 2,248 Haitians lost their lives as a 

result of this tragedy. 

“Everybody was crying because they didn’t know what was going on. All the houses collapsed. 

... We saw houses collapsed on people. We were afraid and didn’t know what to do. People died; 

cattle died. All our belongings were destroyed,” Pierre said. 

CORE immediately leveraged its field team, logistical capacity, partnerships, and previous 

earthquake expertise to help Haiti meet this moment of crisis. After witnessing the world around, 

him collapse, including the walls of his own home, Pierre Pelige registered with CORE community 

mobilizers to join the Cash for Work team. 

Born and raised in Grand’Anse, Pierre was determined to help his community get back on its feet. 

CORE Cash for Work staff are comprised of individuals from heavily impacted communities who 

take on short-term relief work, both in the wake of disaster and throughout crisis recovery. Along 

with CORE debris removal experts and engineers, Pierre supported individuals in Sud by picking 

up the pieces of what was left of their homes following the earthquake. 

“We saw houses collapsed on people. We were afraid 

and didn’t know what to do. People died; cattle died. 

All our belongings were destroyed.”

18 


Pierre cleared out the wreckage of his own home with the debris removal team’s support. 

The money he earned by helping others do the same was an essential first step for his family 

to rebuild. 

In addition to launching the Cash for Work program, CORE relief teams installed tarps on 

damaged homes for emergency shelter. Pierre’s home was also pre-identified to benefit from 

temporary shelter repair. Like many families in the area, after the earthquake hit, Pierre’s had 

been living under the shelter of the detached kitchen area common to rural Haitian homes. 

Having a tarp over their heads allowed him, his wife, and their three children to move back to 

the house proper. Coming up on the end of rainy season, he said that the tarp will help keep 

him and his family dry. 

“The team came and gave us all their support. A big thanks to CORE for all they have 

done for the commune. A big thanks for the debris removal because we couldn’t do it by 

ourselves. It is the support of the team that makes change happen,” Pierre said.

IASMIN CABRAL 

“The nurse I am 

today is because 

of CORE.” 

With limited government resources to respond to the 

pandemic in Brazil, COVID-19 vaccines could not come 

fast enough for those that needed protection most. As 

of December 2021, 619,334 lives have been lost in Brazil 

from the virus, with 22.28 million cases, surpassing the 

U.S. in deaths due to COVID-19 per capita. 

In Rio de Janeiro, the virus wreaked a devastating toll. For 

Iasmin Cabral, a nurse hopeful, her immunocompromised 

parents were at the center of her concern. 

Iasmin grew up in a lower income community in 

Rio de Janeiro’s north zone. When the first wave 

of COVID-19 hit in March 2020, Iasmin was in her 

last semester of nursing school. The pandemic 

caused a wave of economic hardship in Brazil, 

and for Iasmin, financial insecurity meant a hard 

stop to taking her licensing exam and completing 

her certification. 

On top of putting her dreams on hold, Iasmin 

was unable to live with her parents due to their 

high health risk and finding work to continue to 

support her family became her highest priority. 

When CORE started working in Rio de Janeiro 

in April 2021, Iasmin jumped at the opportunity 

to work in COVID-19 relief. Originally joining the 

team at CORE’s vaccine site at Portela Samba 

School as a scribe, Iasmin was able to save 

enough over the course of a few months to take 

her nursing licensing exam and get back on track 

to pursuing her dreams. 

When she passed, CORE immediately promoted 

her to a vaccinator. “CORE opened the door for 

me. I was finally able to start my professional 

career,” she said. 

For the first time in over a year, Iasmin was able to 

hug her parents after vaccinating them herself. 

Iasmin had the opportunity to work at several 

CORE sites across Rio and participate in special 

campaigns to vaccinate entire favelas. 

In Brazil, vaccines could only be accessed in 

public health clinics, which became extremely 

impacted by a huge demand and little supply. 

“CORE’s work helped so much to relieve the 

local health clinics and allow them to function 

“I am so grateful for 

each patient that I 

was able vaccinate. 

Each exchange 

that we had, every 

word said from 

tears of happiness 

and smiles was 

the most priceless 

experience.” 

normally. I am so grateful to have been 

a part of this extremely important work, 

which so greatly impacted people’s access 

to vaccines in needed areas around Rio,” 

Iasmin said. 

By the end of the vaccine campaign, with 

the help of Iasmin and local staff, CORE 

administered nearly 420,000 vaccines in 

some of the most vulnerable areas in Rio 

de Janeiro.
