February 6, 2023… The disaster of the century.
We lost tens of thousands of lives, our cities were destroyed. But the strongest force that rose from the ruins was solidarity.
Our community kitchens, hot meal trucks, and mobile kitchens worked tirelessly. Mobile toilets, showers, and laundries met the basic needs of our people. In this process, we saw the true strength of supporting one another and healing together.
The pain of this loss will never fade, but together, we will continue rebuilding lives. We will leave no one behind.❤️🩹
