Please help rebuild my town, Canoa

A week has passed since my community suffered a devastating loss of life, property, and income to a 7.8 earthquake. My son and I were fortunate to be away...others were less so. Located at the epicenter, Canoa was mostly destroyed. It took a few tense days to locate loved ones, cry for those lost, and shake the numbness that follows grief but now I am ready to return and help. I will go alone to join those who bravely stayed behind and bring what I can in terms of relief. So much is needed...and it will take time, patience and your support. The money I collect will be brought directly to Canoa and used for those who no longer have. Myself, I am very lucky, I have my family alive, my house still stands, and my community to go back to. Please consider helping. You may not know this place or these people, but you know me, and I thank you for Canoa.
