Monclova resident is leading the charge to gather much-needed supplies for victims of recent hurricanes. John Ramirez, a local businessman, has taken it upon himself to organize a relief drive to support those affected by these devastating storms.
After witnessing the destruction caused by hurricanes in various states, Ramirez felt compelled to act. “I couldn’t just stand by and watch. I knew I had to do something,” he explained. With the support of his friends and family, he launched a campaign to collect essential items such as non-perishable food, water, clothing, hygiene products, and baby supplies.
Since the drive’s inception, Ramirez has rallied the community together, setting up collection points around Monclova. Local businesses have joined the cause, offering their storefronts as drop-off locations, while volunteers have stepped forward to help sort and package the supplies. Social media has played a vital role in spreading the word, with posts reaching thousands of residents eager to contribute.
“Every little bit helps,” said Ramirez. “Even a single can of food can make a difference in someone’s life.” He shared stories of those impacted by the hurricanes, emphasizing the urgency of their need for assistance. His heartfelt messages have moved many in the community to donate.
As the collection drive continues, Ramirez has set a goal to fill several trucks with supplies to deliver to affected areas. He hopes to send out the first shipment within the next two weeks. Thanks to his tireless efforts and the generosity of Monclova residents, the community is coming together to provide a beacon of hope for those facing the aftermath of natu
re’s fury.
