EARTHQUAKE IN ECUADOR

The small coastal town of Canoa, Ecuador where my husband's family lives has been completely devastated by the recent earthquake that struck the province of Manabi. Our beautiful town of Canoa is located only a few miles from the epicenter of the magnitude 7.8 earthquake on Saturday night and there have been more than 20 aftershocks with magnitude 4.4 or more.


Many people died in the town and many others are injured, missing, or still trapped under debris. Emergency relief efforts are slowly reaching Canoa due to infrastructure damage and impassible roads. There is no potable water, limited access to food and no electricity.
We are going to collect funds as well as supplies and take them directly to our families as soon as possible. 

The town, a small fishing/ surfing village, was a small but popular destination for tourists from The US, Europe, and all over South America but the earthquake has destroyed almost all the homes and hotels, thereby also destroying not only people's home but also their livelihoods. Please help us help them to survive and then rebuild after this tragedy. Even the smallest donation will help.
