It’s estimated that #HurricaneIota will enter Central America as a Category 5 Hurricane. This is Hurricane Mitch-level stuff. Already battered by Eta, people are hurting. I pray for the well-being of everyone and their families. Fuerza Centroamérica.
Please drop aid, assistance, and/or help links below. Nicaragua and Honduras are going to be need more than prayers, unfortunately. People need food, clothes, shelter. #CentralAmericanTwitter
Here’s an Honduras #HurricaneEta Relief Fund: https://www.gofundme.com/f/fondo-de-auxilio-honduras-huracan-eta
Unidos Por Nicaragua have also organized a GFM to help the people of Managua to Puerto Cabezas https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-for-affected-brothers-by-eta-hurricane
The people of Guatemala, particularly indigenous people, have organized themselves impressively to weather the damages of Eta. Here’s another GFM to support groups there: https://www.gofundme.com/f/festival-abrazarte
Belizeans, many living in the low lands near sea level were badly affected by Eta. This will be compounded by Iota. https://www.gofundme.com/f/26uv6xugg0
There are countless GoFundMe campaigns, from Belize to Panama. A good bet it so send money to the Red Cross of the particular country you’re inclined to support. Such as this one for Guatemala: https://www.cruzroja.gt/donativo/
Here’s one for the people of the Moskitia, in Nicaragua. https://www.gofundme.com/f/hurricane-relief-for-the-moskitia-nicaragua
This one is particularly special, focused on helping abandoned animals and pets who also have lost shelter, homes, and family through Eta. This is likely to worsen for our non-human friends. Support here: https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/hurricane-eta-disaster-animal-relief
Adding this one focused on helping Ch’orti’ communities near Lempa River that borders Honduras/El Salvador, Many are still recovering from Eta, and will now need to recover from #HurricaneIota. Organized by @BrianaKNR https://www.gofundme.com/f/hurricane-relief-for-citala
Panama, a place we hear less about with regards to #HurricaneEta was also impacted by landslides, flooding, and now loose earth that’s causing sinkholes at roads and near homes. Here’s the page to Cruz Roja Panameña, who are leading rescue efforts. https://checkout.paguelofacil.com/cruz-roja
The powerful folks @hondurassol have also organized a relief effort to get help directly to community-based groups. https://afgj.salsalabs.org/2020hondurashurricaneeta/index.html
Here’s a broader relief fund, too. Food For The Poor, addressing emergency needs in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. https://secure.foodforthepoor.org/site/Donation2?df_id=49235&49235.donation=form1
