SOLIDARITY WITH ECUADOR
Just days after the initial 7.8 magnitude earthquake on Saturday April 16th, Ecuador was hit with another devastating 6.2 magnitude earthquake this morning, April 20th, 2016. The initial earthquake has already taken a total of 525 lives, left more than 4,600 injured, and destroyed about 1,500 homes and buildings.
In addition, the 7.8 magnitude earthquake has inflicted between $2 and $3 billion of damage to an already fragile economy, and the 6.2 magnitude earthquake is sure to deepen the situation.
These events have left a staggering 23,500 people without homes, and sleeping in shelters. Survivors in smaller communities continue to struggle to acquire water, power, and transportation.
In order to show our love, concern, and support for the victims and families in Ecuador at this time, we invite you to join us in solidarity and action. WFWP USA has created a fundraiser specific to the victims in Ecuador, providing access to those who would like to donate and spread awareness.
