Disaster Relief | Acuña, México

Disaster Relief in Acuña, México Early Monday morning a large tornado swept through Ciudad Acuña, México damaging over 400 homes and leaving 13 dead. RELIEF EFFORTS The local government is doing an excellent job organizing the relief effort. They have mobilized meals, temporary housing, medical relief stations, and temporary pharmacies.  All the homes destroyed were part of a government subsidy program, which means the government is contractually obligated to rebuild them. Thankfully the basic housing problem will be taken care of. In addition, our pastors committee members are busy at work with their congregations ministering to the families in need of aid.  Casas por Cristo expects to meet with the local leaders to discuss how we can partner with the city to help Acuña recover. For now, we will continue with our normal building schedule and focus on the families we were already planning to serve. We will keep you posted on future opportunities.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? Pray for the city of Acuña, the government's relief efforts, the pastors and church members that are hard at work, and the families dealing with loss of loved ones and property.  Bring donations to the Civic Center in Del Rio, Texas. The following is a list of items the tornado victims need most right now. Powdered Milk (adult and infant) Diapers (both adult and infant) Non-perishable food items Cleaning Supplies Wheelchairs and walking aids Water
