At Rise Against Hunger, we know that ending hunger entails more than providing meals — it’s essential to address additional crucial needs like access to medication and hygiene support. Across Guatemala, Honduras and the Dominican Republic, families are doing everything they can to stay healthy, but many lack access to even the most basic medicines.A single fever, infection or respiratory illness can derail a child’s education or a parent’s ability to work.
That’s why your support is so important. Your gift today ensures families receive the care and supplies they depend on in moments of real vulnerability, as Rise Against Hunger distributes medicine and hygiene items to community clinics, hospitals and families facing ongoing health challenges.
In Guatemala, Corpus Christi Hospital in Patzún often struggled to meet the medical needs of children during colder months. Thanks to recent deliveries, the hospital was equipped to care for thousands of kids battling respiratory illnesses.
And in Honduras, 5-year-old Sebastian — who often suffered from persistent coughs and colds — finally received the medication that eased his symptoms and helped him heal without placing financial strain on his family.
In the Dominican Republic, a father named Jose fell seriously ill with the flu. Without treatment, recovery could have taken weeks. But because medicine was available at his local clinic, he got the care he needed and quickly returned to work — protecting his family’s stability.
These are the moments your generosity sparks: relief, recovery and renewed strength. And this is exactly why your help is needed now.
