Sister Cecelia brings more than supplies as Chileans rebuild.

Rebecca Salas’ home in Coelemu sank into the ground during the earthquake that ruined much of Chile this year. Rebecca’s kitchen is about to collapse, and the tremors broke everything in her house. Now, Chileans are struggling through a brutal cold snap that’s bringing more suffering.

With July’s winter storms in Chile, Rebecca didn’t have much time to rebuild after the quake struck in late February. Winter was only months away. July is the dead of winter in Chile.

“Rebecca has Parkinson’s disease and lives alone, so I knew she needed help,” Sister Cecelia said in her post to our blog.
