Help for Earthquake Victims ECUADOR

Hello everyone!

As you might have already seen in the news, a 7.9 earthquake hit the coast of Ecuador. Ecuador is an underdeveloped country and not used to face natural disasters like this one. Up until now casualties have ascended to 500 and +4000 people are hurt and suffering the damages of the aftermath.  

The money will be used to aid the poor who have been left without a home and also to those in need of clothing, food, water, mattresses, blankets, and medicines. These are families that had very little before the earthquake and now have nothing with what to go on.

We are working TOGETHER with the Food Bank of Guayaquil (Banco de Alimentos Diakonía). This is a local institution that is certified by the Global Food Banking Network. Also, the Food Bank works directly with the Archdiocese of Guayaquil. All of your donations are audited by the firm Hansen-Holm. The Food Bank of Guayaquil will be showing how the money is being used.
