Local Group Establishes Fund To Aid Peru Flood Victims

By Staff, 02/18/17 1:39 PM

HOPE – A local group has established a fund to aid victims of the widespread flooding in Peru that has taken place this year.

The flooding has impacted over 100,000 people, according to Bob Williford, who pastored in Peru for over a decade and continues to maintain relationships in the poverty-striken South American country. A church where Williford preached was directly affected by the flooding and he knows that the victims had little to begin with and now must start over again without help from anyone.

The group, from Hope’s First Baptist Church, consists of Williford, J.W. Rowe, Judy Mullins and Susan O’Bryant, have established an account at BanCorp South, called Peru Flood Relief Fund and are asking for the public’s help.

Any size donation is welcomed. Please keep in mind that those affected didn’t have much to begin with and have nothing now.
