Hi, my name is Adriana, an elementary school teacher from Colombia in the U.S.

I’m raising funds to support families in my hometown, Montería, and its surroundings in Colombia, who have been devastated by catastrophic flooding.

This is not a place I’ve only seen in photos—it’s where my roots are, where people I love live, and where entire communities are now facing the loss of homes, belongings, and basic necessities. Many families have been displaced with little warning and limited access to clean water, food, and medical care.

Watching this unfold from afar has been heartbreaking. I can’t physically be there to help in the ways I wish I could, but this is one way I can show up for my community. Every dollar raised will go directly toward emergency relief and recovery efforts, including food, clean water, temporary shelter, and supplies for those most impacted. My goal is to get help into the hands of people who need it quickly and with dignity.

Thank you for taking the time to read, share, or support in any way. If you’re able to give, share, or simply hold my hometown in your prayers, please know how grateful I am. Your kindness can bring real hope to people who are hurting and remind them they are not alone. Even the smallest act of generosity can make a real difference right now.
