When natural or human-made disasters strike, a variety of organizations step up to assist victims. However, the services available to those in need are often limited to their most basic human needs, like food and shelter, but disaster victims are left wondering how to piece together their lives once the relief dries up and public attention shifts away to the next crisis.
