GlobalGiving is offering a match for this project - Your donation can be 100% matched by GlobalGiving!

By donating now, your contribution will be doubled and help us to ship must needed medical supplies to affected communities in Ecuador.

Sunday, January 15th will mark nine months after the devastating earthquake, yet Ecuador continues to be in a state of emergency. It will take time and care to restore the cities and villages.

The people of Ecuador live with constant aftershocks and therefore with a sense of fear. OVer 600 were killed and may more injured for life.

It's not over. The need is as strong now as the day after the earthquake. Ecuador continues to rely on international relief efforts like VIDA USA.


TAKE advantage of the 100% match now. Our limit for the match is $12,000 - we would be thriled with a third of that.
Truly - your donation makes a huge difference.
Our shipping containers are jam-packed with hospital supplies and equipment. The doctors and nurses who work tirelessly need these supplies constantly. We are getting the supplies to Ecuador with your help and the hlep of volunteers shown who come to our warehouse in Emeryville, CA to sort the donated supplies bound for Ecuador , Peru and Chile.

Thank you - muchas gracias!
