Donations to help Venezuelan victims after the earthquake
Hiii so this is very different from my usual posts. Idk if you guys know but July 5th is Venezuela's Independence day, which would usually be a nice day off for us but if you've seen the news you'll know two earthquakes (7.2 and 7.5) hit northen Venezuelan on june 29th.
Thankfully I live far enough from the epicenter of the earthquake that nothing too major happened but I can't say the same for everyone else. The goverment is not only doing nothing but actively stopping international help from reaching us, people have to dig through the rubble with their own hands just to reach the people buried, ordinary citizens had to save their friends and put in the work that the government isn't doing and are working together with the international rescue groups that have come because no one else will do it.
My people have shown great kindness and bravery after the earthquake, but this is such a massive disaster to our country that help is still needed. Which is why I decided to share links to any international user that wants to help but doesn't know how.
DO NOT DONATE TO THE VENEZUELAN RED CROSS. IT IS UNDER THE GOVERNMENT'S CONTROL AND THAT MONEY WON'T BE USED TO HELP US
Below I'll share donation links that have been proven to help the victims. Even if one dollar could make all the difference and if you can't donate then at least you can share so this info can reach other people too. I know guilt can be all consuming in times like this but sharing info can do so much for others.
And if you are considering comisioning an artist please consider talking with a venezuelan artist as many have lost their home or are in critical condicions and are doing art to sustain themselves.
