Help Myanmar Recover from the Devastating 7.7 Magnitude Earthquake

We are Burmese students from Saint Paul, Minnesota, raising urgent funds to support victims of the powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025.

Thousands of buildings collapsed, including homes, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. We lost many of our most sacred heritage sites — ancient pagodas, temples, and churches — pieces of our culture and history that can never be replaced. Entire towns have been reduced to rubble.

Buildings have collapsed, homes are gone, and entire families are grieving. Many people are still missing or trapped under the rubble, while others are searching for loved ones with no way to reach help. Internet access is down in many areas, making communication and rescue efforts even harder.

Myanmar was already struggling — our healthcare system, emergency response, and infrastructure have been weakened by years of civil war, political unrest, and natural disasters. This earthquake has pushed an already suffering nation even further into crisis.

The death toll is rising. The pain is overwhelming. And yet, the world remains quiet.

We ask you — please, try to put yourself in our shoes.

Imagine waking up to the ground shaking, your home falling apart, not knowing if your family is alive. We know it’s hard to fully understand what we’re going through — but even a small act of compassion means more than we can say.

We just want a break. A moment to breathe. A little hope to hold on to.

Your donation will go directly to trusted local contacts helping people on the ground — providing food, water, shelter, and emergency medical care.

We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. But we believe in the strength of people coming together. One person alone can’t do everything — but all of us, together, can make a difference.

Please donate, share this message, and keep Myanmar in your thoughts and prayers.
