Emergency appeal for hurricane ETA
Hello this is an emergency appeal to raise funds to help Mario my son-in -laws family in Honduras who have been left destitute by hurricane ETA.
They spent 27 hours on the roof of their house without food or water prior to eventually been rescued by boat.
Their entire contents of the house, personal belongings , clothes etc has totally been destroyed, they are left literally with the clothes on their back.
Because it’s a natural disaster their insurance is void and they have to start all over again, and we want to do everything in our power to help.
They were alerted by Toby their Dalmatian dog in the early hours of the morning by jumping on the bed soaking wet, already a foot deep in water,
Mario’s father is elderly and suffering from ill health so it was an ordeal to get him on to the roof and a rush against time with the water rising so fast, I literally can’t imagine the fear they must have felt with the water rising level with the roof.
They made a lead for the dog out of the T-shirt his brother was wearing to keep him from falling off the roof, just unimaginable fear.
Mario’s Mother, Father, Brother and sister held on to each other praying and singing songs, trying to keep their hopes up that they would eventually be rescued, just remarkable they kept the faith, even through the blackness of the night when all they could hear was the water rushing by.
Thank god they were eventually rescued after enduring 27 hours, they’re safe at last, hope you can help us rebuild their lives by donating anything you can afford.. any donation would be appreciated.. Thank you wth all my heart Dee x
