Dear , The last few days have been terrifying and exhausting for many families in Puerto Rico. A 6.4 magnitude earthquake shook the island early Tuesday morning, destroying buildings in the southern areas of the country and causing two-thirds of the island to lose power. More than 40 earthquakes with a 3.0-magnitude or higher followed, threatening recovery efforts. Our team is now on the ground near the cities of Ponce and Guanadilla, evaluating how we can help. We've already delivered 120 cold storage bags to keep medications safe to use. Photo credit: Elsy Benitez-Vargas, Project HOPE. What we’re seeing so far:
In gratitude, Andrea Dunne-Sosa Regional Director, Americas P.S. None of us can know when a disaster will strike -- that’s why your support is more important than you may know. Join us today with an emergency gift to ensure that Project HOPE can reach communities in need around the world with first responders, medical volunteers and lifesaving aid as quickly and efficiently as possible. |
