Our vision is to establish a unified national network to ensure that children impacted by disasters and crises receive the necessary tools and support to cultivate positive coping mechanisms and resilience. This vision is brought to fruition through the collaborative efforts of the Beautiful Disaster Emergency Response Team (ERT) and our local and national Hub Angels.

At the heart of our mission, we prioritize the well-being of youth, babies, and children, dedicating our resources and expertise to address their needs with precision and compassion.

This collective endeavor is bolstered by our commitment to fostering inclusivity and unity through a wide array of culturally diverse events and educational activities tailored for our youth and families. Our Hub Angels, serving communities both locally and nationally, stand as pillars of hope and support, ensuring that every child and family receives the assistance and comfort they deserve during challenging times.
