Distributions to Mudslide Victims in Sierra Leone

By Carrie Theisen | Volunteer

We want to thank EVERYONE who has been a part of donating to areas such as Regent, Sierra Leone where nearly 1,000 lives were lost in the mudslide. Your donations enabled us to help people like Issatu K. who is one of hundreds of people to have lost relatives and their homes in the mudslide. Both her son and nephew are missing, she said: “Everything is gone. We’ve lost everything – our house, everything. The mud came down with the water so fast and my son did not escape. We found him lying in the mud. He was just a boy. They took his body with the others to I don’t know where. God help Sierra Leone. What are we supposed to do now, with nothing?”

This is the tragedy upon tragedy Sierra Leone has faced.  Thanks to you, we have been able to donate food and other relief supplies to help heal their wounds. We so appreciate your support and your generosity - THANK YOU.
