Local communities are critical partners in our mission, and they are now under threat. Nearly 700 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed in Central America. El Salvador is completely locked down. In Nicaragua, almost no COVID-19 mitigation measures have been taken and food prices have doubled. We anticipate both food shortages and high rates of infection very soon, which means the most vulnerable people will starve as this pandemic hits them.<\/p>\n
Would you please make an urgent gift of $50 (or more) to help them?<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Our rangers know a family in need, shown below \u2013 let\u2019s call them the Martinez family. The parents are in their 80s and 90s and care for their adopted daughter, who is disabled by epilepsy. They depend on their neighbors for food, but now the whole community is struggling under doubled food prices. How can the Martinez family feed themselves, afford medical care, or prepare for the worst right now? They can’t. But you can help them.<\/p>\n
