Brian partners with Daniel Patino of Food for the Poor to raise awareness and support for families devastated by recent earthquakes in Colombia. Daniel, who is Colombian himself, describes the scale of the disaster — families living in tents beside piles of rubble, losing homes and belongings in seconds — and explains how Food for the Poor's decade-long local partnerships allow them to deliver food, hygiene supplies, and clean water directly to the hardest-hit communities even after the story has faded from the news cycle. He shares that a $30 gift provides a family with a week of urgent food, $75 covers hygiene kits for five families, and $120 feeds four families for a week, and makes a personal appeal for listeners to respond with compassion to a crisis still unfolding weeks after the earthquakes struck.
