Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza is leading a coalition of players across Major League Soccer to rally support for Hurricane Eta relief in his native Honduras.
The devastating effects of Hurricane Eta over the last seven days have left Honduras with widespread flooding, mudslides and a shortage of essential products, especially for children. Because the aftermath of the storm has made social distancing difficult for citizens, Honduras has also struggled to stop potential spread of COVID-19.
In response to the emergency situation, Espinoza—who was born in Honduras and has represented his country at two FIFA World Cups—has assembled a group of fellow Hondurans in MLS to generate awareness and raise money for aid organizations that are on the ground in Honduras.
