Support our campaign to help Venezuela
The situation in Venezuela is beyond critical.
Due to its failing economic system, the most basic needs are not being met and everything is falling apart.
The consequence of this means that a large number of Venezuelans are dying because infrastructure is collapsing and are they unable to provide the most basic healthcare that sometimes we take for granted here such as: antibiotics, bandages, or even food.
I can tell you this, because all my family lives there, my friends, everyone tells me how they feel, what they see.
Now, what’s the root of this issue? well, monumental mismanagement by the powers that oppressively govern the entire nation, no love at all.
… this video will give you a better view and I know it hurts to watch, but it’s real:
Now, if you ask me how it can all be fixed, the asnwer is easy… I don’t know, but at least now, this month, the next one and the next one, let’s address the most critical and urgent needs of those going through this situation at this very moment.
That’s why the Buddings family is using our picnic on August 14th, 2016 @ Jonathan Rogers Park to raise some efforts and energy, to send supplies to Venezuela.
Maybe one picnic won’t be able to raise much, but partnering with Amazon Cargo, a shipping company based in Miami, for a care package program called Cajita Feliz (literally “Happy Box”), $99 can send a shipment of supplies, food, and household products to families in Venezuela. These basic items can save a life. Also, it will mean to turn our attentions to Venezuela, because all the people in the country need help. Not just my family.
Our Canadian dollars go a long way in Venezuela, where inflation has raised the cost of even the most basic supplies by 1000% since December 2015. If you would like to contribute $5 or $10 to support our campaign, you can do so on our Eventbrite page. Please share the event, and the news, and help us create a better situation in Venezuela.
This is big.
