Heavy rains overwhelmed regions of Central America, including many communities in Bajo Lempa and Puerto Parada.The weeklong deluge forced the evacuation of almost 100 families from the communities.

While we’re grateful the number of families affected is relatively small, these families are in dire need.

They’ve not only lost many belongings due to flooding, but also their corn and vegetable crops that provided for their food and income.

Only $150 per family would provide the seeds and other supplies needed to replace lost crops. This way families can continue to feed themselves.

To many, $150 sounds like a lot of money.

It is.

Much more than $1.
