Emergency Relief for Myanmar: Help Earthquake Survivors Now

A Devastating Earthquake Has Struck Myanmar, Urgent Help Needed!

On March 28, 2025, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, with Mandalay at the epicenter, destroying homes, schools, and entire communities in seconds. Thousands of families have been displaced, struggling to survive without shelter, food, or medical care. With already limited resources due to ongoing conflict, this disaster has made an already dire situation even worse.

Better Burma is committed to reaching those in urgent need, including ethnic and religious minorities and marginalized communities—especially in areas beyond military-controlled regions. We provide direct aid to those who are often overlooked and underserved in crisis situations through our trusted local networks.

-Emergency food supplies for affected families

Why This Matters

Myanmar has been facing immense challenges, from political instability to ongoing conflict and displacement. This earthquake has only deepened the suffering, leaving many communities, especially marginalized ethnic and religious minorities, without access to the aid they desperately need. Better Burma is working to ensure that support reaches these vulnerable populations, regardless of location or political barriers.

Recently, a devastating earthquake of magnitude 7.7 struck Myanmar, resulting in unfathomable losses of homes and loved ones as well as the destruction of centuries-old invaluable cultural heritage. Thousands are confirmed dead, many more are still trapped under debris and rubble, and the number grows as rescue operations are stalled by broken infrastructure, blocked roads, and a lack of support. The air is heavy with the stench of decomposing bodies, and hospitals are overwhelmed beyond capacity. With the ongoing military coup, this could not be a worse time for this disaster. As survivors cry out for help, they are met not only with silence but with the sounds of bombs and gunfire from the military junta. In some areas, rescue workers are being shot at, and airstrikes continue to hit already devastated zones. The military junta has blocked the flow of information to the outside world, spreading misleading narratives while hiding the true scale of the crisis.

Myanmar is in need of immediate international attention and aid. As students living away from our country, we, as the Burmese Club of Pasadena City College, want to seize this opportunity to call for international aid by raising awareness and organizing fundraising efforts to support frontline relief.

Our funds will be directly going to Better Burma, a US-based 501(c)(3) and a nonprofit humanitarian organization. Please take a part in Myanmar’s recovery by donating any amount or raising awareness. Any little effort can make a great impact.

Hi, I’m Hoss, based in Melbourne. I’m a long-time supporter of Better Burma and have followed their work closely through their podcast and social platforms. I’m not officially affiliated with them, but I believe in their mission and their grassroots response to this crisis.

Funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward Better Burma’s three-phase relief effort—starting with immediate aid (food, water, medicine, tents, generators), followed by long-term recovery and community rebuilding efforts.

Myanmar (Burma) is facing a crisis on top of a crisis.

Already reeling from a brutal military coup and ongoing civil war, the country is now devastated by a deadly 7.7 magnitude earthquake. The humanitarian emergency in Myanmar continues to worsen. Thousands have been displaced, families are separated, and basic necessities are out of reach. Entire communities are overwhelmed, and they need our help and attention.

Better Burma, a podcast I have been listening to for a while which covers not only spiritual but social aspects of Myanmar, is launching a rapid and strategic response, grounded in a three-phase plan to provide emergency relief, support recovery, and build long-term resilience.

Phase 1: Emergency Relief

We are addressing urgent, life-saving needs:

Food | Clean Water | Medicine

Tents | Baby Formula & Diapers | Hygiene Kits

Mobile Toilets | Generators | Concrete-Punching Machine to recover bodies

Open a Better Burma Emergency Clinic

This phase will last approximately 2 months, with extensions if needed.

Phase 2: Recovery and Reconstruction

As emergency needs stabilize, we’ll help affected communities rebuild their homes and lives. This phase may last 6+ months, depending on conditions on the ground.

Phase 3: Sustained Recovery & Community Resilience

Once structures are restored, we focus on the future — helping people heal and thrive:

Ongoing Healthcare | Trauma Counseling

Livelihood Support | Education for Children

Our goal is to foster long-term stability and dignity in these communities.

Your support is urgently needed.

Every donation goes directly to Burmese-led efforts responding to this catastrophe. No amount is too small.

Emergency Medical Aid for Myanmar – Help Save Lives

Right now, Myanmar is facing a humanitarian crisis of devastating proportions. The ongoing conflict has left millions displaced, with limited access to medical care, supplies, and essential relief. Families are struggling to survive in makeshift shelters, while doctors and medics risk their lives to provide care with scarce resources.

Why This Matters

Hospitals are overwhelmed or destroyed – Many medical facilities have been targeted, leaving people with nowhere to turn for urgent care.

Supplies are critically low – There is a severe shortage of antibiotics, bandages, IV fluids, and life-saving medicine.

Healthcare workers are at risk – Brave medics are working in hidden clinics and jungle hospitals, treating patients under extreme conditions.

Displaced families have no access to healthcare – Many are suffering from untreated injuries, infections, and chronic illnesses, with no way to seek medical help.

Every dollar raised goes directly to frontline medics, mobile clinics, and emergency relief teams providing care to those in desperate need.

How Your Donation Helps

$25 provides essential medicine for one patient.

$50 helps equip a mobile medical team with supplies.

$100 supports emergency treatment for a displaced family.

$250+ funds life-saving surgery, urgent trauma care, and field hospital operations.

Your generosity will bring healing and hope to those suffering the most. Every contribution, big or small, makes an impact.

We know times are tough for many, and we are deeply grateful for any support you can give—whether it’s a donation, sharing this fundraiser, or simply spreading awareness about Myanmar’s crisis.

Please join us in standing with the people of Myanmar. Your kindness can save lives.

We are two individuals, Su Latt and Hothal Patel, based in the U.S., coming together to raise funds for relief efforts following the 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar and parts of Thailand on March 28, 2025.

One of us has family in Myanmar, and while they are safe, they’ve witnessed firsthand the devastation and loss caused by the earthquake. Thousands of lives have been lost, many more have been injured, and entire communities have been displaced. Seeing the impact on her home country, she wanted to take action—and together, we decided to launch this fundraiser to help those most affected.

We are raising funds to support Better Burma, a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works with trusted partners inside Myanmar to deliver life-saving emergency aid. We chose Better Burma because of their transparency, local connections, and their focus on getting resources directly to the people who need them most.
