In the midst of the devastation, Pastor Rafael Cruz of Iglesia Comunidad Cristiana Vida—a faithful Mission of Hope partner—quickly reached out for help. His heart was burdened for the families who had lost everything.

Together, through the local church, we were able to respond. Clothing, medications, and personal hygiene supplies were provided to meet immediate needs and bring comfort in the middle of crisis.

What began as a moment of loss became a moment of hope because the Church showed up, reminding these families that they are seen, loved, and not alone.
