A Community Crushed<br />

In the aftermath of the horrific incident, relief efforts have been in full swing.<br />

ICC’s dedicated staff swiftly arrived on the scene to assess the damage. So<br />

many families, many with young kids, were left homeless. We continue to<br />

distribute essential supplies like food, cooking utensils, soap, tents, beds,<br />

and blankets.<br />

This is just the first phase of an extensive undertaking. The long-term plans to<br />

rebuild homes, churches, and small businesses are staggering. ICC is seeking<br />

to raise $500,000 in this effort.<br />

“As soon as I heard the news of the approaching mob, I<br />

grabbed my children. We were in such a frantic rush that<br />

we didn’t even have the presence of mind to put on shoes or<br />

grab a scarf. All that mattered to us was ensuring the safety<br />

of our kids, so we fled the town without looking back.”<br />
