*While we accept donations worldwide, only people in supported countries or territories can start fundraisers for their friends and family members in Chile. Since GoFundMe cannot send funds directly to Chile at this time, you will be personally responsible for withdrawing the funds and transferring them to your beneficiary in Chile.
