Ecuador & Venezuela COVID-19 Food Relief

The world is going through a heart-breaking time. Ecuador and Venezuela are being hit hard by this pandemic and it weighs on our hearts. Reading the news and hearing from friends in both countries left us feeling heartbroken and desperate to help. 

While hospitals are surpassing their capacity, COVID-19 continues to run rampage throughout Ecuador, leaving people to fight the illness in their home or the streets. Businesses are closing, leaving families without an income, causing them to worry about the virus and how they are going to put food on their family's table. With pre-existing chaos in Venezuela, the pandemic has exacerbated the desperation felt by families. Inflation and increasing unemployment leaves families wondering if they will be able to eat tomorrow. 

We are asking for money to purchase groceries in Ecuador and Venezuela for families who have lost their jobs and are struggling to get by, especially those in the urban centers like Quito. We can't change the situation, and we can help relieve some stress from the shoulders of the hard-working parents who are left in desperation. 

The virus knows no borders, and neither does kindness. Help us to ensure families will have food on their tables during this impossible time. We appreciate any and all support! 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
Kirsten, Tadhg, Ili, & Drew
