Hurricane eta update

As you might know, Hurricane Eta made landfall in Nicaragua on Tuesday, November 3 with nearly 140 mph winds and bringing with it catastrophic flooding. Our partners, Samaritans International, have a facility that includes living spaces, a school, a church, and a warehouse in which they store our SWH food, in Pochocuape, just outside Managua.

We spoke with Patrick via WhatsApp Wednesday night and he tells us they continue to have rain and it looks as though much more is coming. He is full of praise that his family and the Samaritans staff are all ok, though they have had trouble from the high winds. Today (Thursday), they plan to go to some of the areas that were hit harder to see if they can help.

We continue to pray for their safety and that they will be able to reach those who need help and be able to provide them with food!
