update on Earthquake

8 years ago

Hello Everyone,

Im getting reports from several sources that....

The earthquake devastation is far worse that what we are being told by mainstream media. There is almost a media blackout regarding the real situation.
The roads getting to some of the areas are so destroyed some areas have still not even began receiving relief yet.
The real death toll is EXCEEDINGLY higher than the latest "mainstream media reports" of 400+
The stench and smell in some areas is unbarable.
There are some people still burried under rubble.
Their are people who weren't crushed or hurt by the earthquake itself, but are now dying in the streets for lack of water, food and medicine.
The port in Guayaquil has pretty much been destroyed and there are no ships coming in or going out.

The situation is much more critical than what the media is portraying.

One of the best charities that appears to really be boots on the ground is HEARTS OF GOLD.

Here is the link to them for both paypal transfers and wire transfers: http://heartsofgoldfoundation.org/earthquake-relief-fund/

They also have a webpage listing ITEMS MOST IN NEED: http://heartsofgoldfoundation.org/medicine-baby-care-food-flashlights-towels-are-items-most-in-need-now/

The need is still VERY HIGH for all our prayers and help in anyway we can come forward with.

My heart is very heavy with all of this! Please come forward and help with what you can.

KEEP THE BIG PICTURE BURNING BRIGHTLY!
