Help Honduran Families Affected by Hurricane Eta

Donation protected
Dear friends,
 
In early November, Central America was severely affected by Hurricane Eta. The hurricane brought flooding, mudslides and unfortunately took the lives of many; along with buildings, houses, cars, etc. Our family have witnessed this catastrophe our beloved community in Morazán, Yoro are currently enduring.

People from this community have been evacuated, and while in shelter, they lost their homes, food supply and other basic necessities.

Residents from Morazán are in dire need at this time. Food, clothes, shelter, medical supplies, purified water and transportation are the main prioritized needs at this time.

The monetary donations will be used to buy and distribute the necessary resources mentioned above. As an example, the basic cost for groceries is 8,600 lempiras/month, which is equivalent to $350 U.S. dollars. This makes it very clear we will likely not be able to raise enough money to help everyone, however, while other organizations are still making their way to deliver support to the affected regions, we aim to provide any necessary basic needs to those most affected in the community.

This effort will likely take days, if not weeks, to rehabilitate the community, which makes it even more important to help during this time of need.

We appreciate all of your love and support. We will be sure to update everyone with pictures of when donations are made and community members you will be helping in Morazán, Yoro. God bless!

Queridos amigos,

En los primeros días de noviembre, Centro América fue afectado terriblemente por el Huracán Eta. Este huracán dejo a su paso inundaciones, derrumbes, perdidas, humanas y materiales. Nuestros familiares han sido testigos de la tempestad por la que nuestra comunidad de Morazán, Yoro ha pasado.

Personas de esta comunidad han sido evacuadas de sus hogares, y mientras en refugio, perdieron sus casas, fuentes de alimento, y otros componentes básicos para vivir.

Los habitantes de Morazán se encuentran actualmente con mucha necesidad, pero para nombrar algunas prioridades, se necesita abrigo, comida, ropa, medicamentos de primeros auxilios, agua purificada y transportación.

Las donaciones serán usadas para comprar y distribuir estos recursos. El costo de la canasta básica hondureña es de 8,600 lempiras al mes ($350 EE.UU.). Reconocemos que no será posible recaudar suficientes fondos para ayudar a todos los afectados, pero esperamos por lo menos proveer alimento y abrigo a los mas afectados de la comunidad mientras otras organizaciones hacen su llegada al área.

Tomara varios días, si no semanas, para que la re-estabilización comience, por esta razón es crucial brindar ayuda pronto.  

Apreciamos de todo corazón el apoyo que nos brindan. Nos aseguraremos de mantenerlos al tanto de todas donaciones que entregamos a la gente de Morazán, Yoro con imágenes y videos. Muchísimas gracias y que Dios los bendiga.
