How to Help with Honduras Hurricane Relief

I know you have been keeping up with the news that our friends in Honduras were hit by not only one hurricane in the last few weeks but two.  Rought estimates say 75,000 families have lost their homes.  Many more times that have lost all of their worldly possessions.  Still, others have had their fields and water supplies flooded with salt water.  Times are tough in a country already complicated by outbreaks of COVID-19 and Dengue Fever.

I want to keep this message short because you know what is coming next.  I am asking you to help in as many of the following ways as you can:

1.) Donate money to AHMEN online here (click the pencil to “add special instructions to the seller” and type “Michael Franklin – Hurricane Relief” in the box) or by sending a check.  Make your check out to AHMEN with "Michael Franklin – Hurricane Relief" on the "for" line.  Mail to 516 Ridgeview Dr. Jasper, AL 35504

 

If you donate, please email/call me to let me know how much so I can be on the lookout.  If everyone who saw this blog gave $50, we could really address the truly urgent needs of the communities.

 

2.) Send a box of relief supplies!  Check the flyer for mailing information and packing lists!  Pass this flyer out at church, school, around town, and at Thanksgiving/Christmas. (Again email/call me to let me know to expect your package.)

Please share this flyer!

3.) Come join the fun and help pack the container on Dec 5 (an January date to be determined) at the AHMEN Container Loading.  3220 HWY 31 South, Building F, Decatur, AL 35603

 

4.) Start making preparations to return to Honduras with the Río de Agua Viva team summer 2021.

 

I know our own communities are hurting.  It is okay to help them too, but consider the families in Honduras who had nothing when you met them.  They live only by faith now.

 

Together, we are the difference.
