If you’ve been watching the news recently, you know that hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods aren’t the only natural disasters that can strike without warning. The recent fires in Maui have been a stark reminder that the most unexpected crises are often the most devastating.

But the good news is that you can be there to meet the most urgent and critical needs as soon as they arise.  

When you join the Front Line, a special group of monthly supporters, your ongoing commitment will help provide emergency aid like food, water, clothing, and shelter to people recovering from a crisis or natural disaster — people like Ruth.

Ruth lived with her husband and two children in a remote village in Peru. Their home consisted of one room barely big enough to fit their beds. They couldn’t even afford basic essentials like water, electricity, or indoor plumbing.

Life wasn’t easy for Ruth and their family, but they were grateful for what they had. Every day, they hoped and dreamed of a better future.

Then, one morning, Ruth woke up and saw smoke pouring from her neighbor’s house. To her horror, the home had gone up in flames, and the fire soon spread to Ruth’s house. Thankfully they all escaped safely, but everything they owned burned to the ground in a matter of minutes.

To make matters worse, fire trucks couldn’t even reach Ruth’s neighborhood. There was nothing she could do to save her house or their precious few belongings inside. Ruth, her husband, and her two young daughters have nothing left. Her husband’s small salary was barely enough to cover their basic needs before the fire.

As you know, Ruth and her family aren’t the only ones recovering from a devastating fire. People on the Hawaiian island of Maui are struggling to pick up the pieces of their lives after wildfires ravaged their hometowns. In a matter of hours, they lost homes, possessions, and loved ones. Now, many of them have nowhere to turn.
