Help the fire tragedy in Viña del Mar, Chile

Valparaíso and Viña del Mar are burning.

The forest fires began early Saturday and have so far killed over 60 people and destroyed over 1000 homes. They are still looking for around 300 missing persons. More than 40 thousand hectares have been destroyed.

It’s the worse tragedy the country has faced since the earthquake in 2010.

I am from Viña del Mar and have friends on the field every day, going in with supplies and helping find bodies. Help us send help directly to where it’s needed: food, clothes, water, milk and baby essentials for those who have been affected by this horrible tragedy.

We will be updating this gofundme with the help provided - the main priority right now is acting directly with the families, securing a safe safe for them to sleep and provide the essentials for the upcoming days.

Alternatively you can donate to Techo Chile who is helping rehome families. If you are in Chile you can donate with these details:

February 6th: The first money has been sent and we were able to buy food and products for the affected families.

February 9th: More money was sent for clothes and food. Clothes were also donated by friends and family members and handed out.
