Hurricane Agatha Humanitarian Relief Fund
Donation protected
On May 30th, Hurricane Agatha made history as the strongest hurricane ever recorded to come ashore in May in the Eastern Pacific leaving a wake of destruction in its path. The community of Puerto Escondido was spared the worst of the damage, but tragically their neighbors just south in Puerto Angel and surrounding areas were devastated by the torrential wind and rain. Most are still without power, many of the roads are closed or washed out, and basic survival amenities like food and water are being driven or walked in.
The local community in Puerto Escondido is working together alongside a multitude of organizations to deliver food, water, hygiene supplies, clothing, medications, and temporary shelter to those communities desperately in need. Please help! No dollar amount is too little to help make a difference and relief efforts are expected to be ongoing for weeks to come!
I have been traveling to Puerto Escondido and surrounding areas for over 20 years, consider it to be a second home and the community within family. All money raised will be transferred directly to longtime friend and renowned photographer Edwin Morales, who is strategically coordinating with locals: Roxel Perez, Jose Ramirez, Marcial Monreal, Rodger Ramirez, along with other organizations the purchase and distribution of relief supplies (food, water, hygiene products, clothing, tarps, medications and building materials).

El 30 de mayo, el huracán Ágatha hizo historia como el huracán más fuerte registrado hasta la fecha. Ágatha tocó tierra en el Pacífico oriental, dejando una estela de destrucción a su paso. La comunidad de Puerto Escondido se salvó de los peores daños, pero trágicamente sus vecinos al sur de Puerto Ángel y las áreas circundantes fueron devastados por el viento y la lluvia torrenciale. La mayoría de los afectados todavía no tienen electricidad, muchas de las carreteras están cerradas o arrasadas, y los servicios básicos de supervivencia, como alimentos y agua, están siendo conducidos o caminados.
La comunidad local de Puerto Escondido está trabajando junto con una multitud de organizaciones para ayudar a entregar alimentos, agua, suministros de higiene, ropa y refugio temporal a las comunidades que lo necesitan desesperadamente. Todo el dinero recaudado se enviará directamente para financiar los esfuerzos de ayuda que se espera continúen durante las próximas semanas. ¡Por favor ayuda! Ninguna cantidad es demasiado pequeña para ayudar. ¡Gracias!
