On Monday, August 10, 2026, a powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia. Our family was among those forced to leave their home as the shaking destroyed and severely damaged the place where they live.

In a matter of minutes, everything changed. They lost their home, many belongings, and the sense of safety our family once had. Right now, they are displaced, staying in temporary shelter while we try to figure out what comes next.

We are asking for help to cover urgent needs: temporary housing, food, basic supplies, clothing, and the first steps toward rebuilding or finding a new place to live. Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping our family get back on their feet during this difficult time.

If you are able to donate, we are deeply grateful. If you cannot donate, sharing this campaign would mean the world to us. Your support will help us begin to recover and move forward.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With gratitude,

Lina Vilca
