After the devastating impact of Hurricane Irma in the Caribbean region in September 2017 and Hurricane Maria making landfall in Puerto Rico almost immediately following, the islands were left with severe humanitarian consequences.

UNICEF USA was able to deliver emergency supplies to Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Region with the remarkable support of partners, volunteers, and youth supporters like Carolina O'Leary.

O’Leary is a high school student from the greater D.C. area who launched her own fashion line for teens called ShortStory and hosted a trunk show on December 10th, 2017 in support of UNICEF USA's hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Carolina was inspired to help the children and families impacted and intends to have an ongoing charitable component to her unique line.
