MEXICO – Just days after Hurricane Erick made landfall in Oaxaca, Operation Blessingโ€™s Disaster Relief team was on the ground. Their goal: to assess urgent needs and begin serving communities that had been overlooked by the headlines. โ€œWeโ€™ve spent the last couple of days visiting communities, talking with churches and families,โ€ shared one OB team member. โ€œSome of these areas have been completely left out. They havenโ€™t received any help.โ€

Our teams quickly discovered the extent of the destruction from Hurricane Erick. High winds and flooding left roofs torn away and homes exposed. Roughly 130 homes were severely damagedโ€”and many families still have no means to repair them.

A Call to Action After Hurricane Erick: Restoring Roofs, Restoring Hope

It didnโ€™t take long to see the greatest need: roofing materials. With homes battered and exposed to the elements, families are desperately seeking shelter from rain and sun. Thatโ€™s why Operation Blessing is working swiftly to source and deliver materials to repair or replace damaged roofs after Hurricane Erick.

โ€œOur call here is to assess the need and send out a call for action,โ€ our team member said. โ€œWeโ€™re preparing a proposal to bless them. But we need your help.โ€


Quiet Crisis, Urgent Need

This disaster didnโ€™t reach the major news outlets, but that doesnโ€™t mean the suffering is any less real. Entire communitiesโ€”already struggling with povertyโ€”have been pushed further into crisis. With no media attention, few outside resources have come to help. Thatโ€™s where friends like you come in.

Thanks to your prayers and generosity, Operation Blessing is able to reach those who might otherwise be forgotten. We believe every family deserves dignity, safety, and the peace of knowing theyโ€™re not alone.
