Children and staff at Covenant House Guatemala reported headaches and numb tongues among other concerning symptoms. City services were contacted to find a possible gas leak nearby. Instead, they discovered this was due to fumes from 2,000 gallons of toxic chemicals being illegally stored in a nearby warehouse.
We've evacuated 50 girls and 8 babies to San Juan del Obispo to start urgent detoxification procedures, but we've been told there's no idea when it will be safe for them to return. Your gift today will provide the medical care, meals, clothes and so much more they'll need to make it through this emergency.
