In the aftermath of the deadly New Year’s Day truck attack on Bourbon Street, people and organizations in New Orleans have put together resources to aid victims and survivors.

We’ve gathered some links and resources for survivors and victims, along with those looking to help.

For survivors and victims

Crime Survivors NOLA, a group of survivors and advocates, has put together a guide for victims of the New Year’s Day attack. The guide includes references for family reunification, victim service providers and links to other victim assistance groups and mental health and trauma recovery assistance.

The federal Office for Victims of Crime offers resources for victims of terrorism and mass violence.

For those looking to help

The Blood Center is seeking donors. Locations and times for blood drives can be found here.

Several GoFundMes have been established for victims in the attack and their families, including Tiger Bech and Ryan Quigley; Reggie Hunter; Jeremi Sensky; and Matthew Tenedorio.

WeHelp NOLA offers free mental health care services to restaurant industry workers in New Orleans. Any funds donated will go toward crisis counseling for people affected by the attack.

The Greater New Orleans Foundation has established a fund to assist victims and survivors and is seeking donations. The fund has already raised tens of thousands of dollars from people around the country, said Andy Kopplin, the foundation’s president and CEO, on Friday (Jan. 3).

The United Way of Southeast Louisiana has also launched a fund that will help cover costs related to medical care, funerals, and trauma therapy. Donations can be sent via this link.

“Our hearts are heavy as we grieve with the victims and all those affected by the tragic attack in New Orleans,” said Michael Williamson, UWSELA president and CEO in a Wednesday (Dec. 1) statement. “In times like these, we must come together as a community to support one another. We stand united with our city.”
