Help my team leave Venezuela!
Donation protected
My team and I work on a webcomic. However, they are constantly plagued with the troubles of living in Venezuela. This fundraiser is to help cover funds needed for them to legally leave Venezuela and safely travel to another country. At any given day they suffer the following issues.
- No running water, frequently there is no running water. They have to go out and find bottles to purchase, collect it from a stream and boil it so it's safe to drink, inability to take showers.
- Frequent power outages. No air conditioning, no lights, no refrigerator. This is widespread across Venezuela. They have to gather food daily because it cannot be freshly preserved in a refrigerator.
- Inflation, any money they make working on the project depreciates daily. The economy is so screwed that any money earned has to be spent or it loses its value. They literally cannot save money...
Here are a few images of the cost of certain products in Venezuelan bills.
As you can see it's absolutely ridiculous.
- Medical/sickness, medicine is expensive because of the economy. Because there are no refrigerators because of no power...meat spoils at markets and can lead to food poisoning. Babies are delivered in venezuela via phone flashlight! To get in an accident and be put on some sort of life support is a death sentence because of NO POWER.
This fundraiser is to cover Legal fees for paperwork (In order to legally move to another country), The Airline ticket cost, traveling fees, and living accommodations for when they first arrive. Any amount that you give would be greatly appreciated.
From all of us at Team Sparkle, thank you!
