Help For The Earthquake In Chile
The government is doing everything they can but it's still not enough. I think we all need to help to get us through this, and it doesn’t take much to help, you just need the right information. I wouldn’t want you to try to help and discover that your help went to waste.
If you are in a position to donate basic supplies that might be even better because these are needed even more than clothes. They are asking for the following:
Another legitimate foundation through which you can help the earthquake in Chile, is called Un Techo Para Chile(A Roof for Chile) is gathering supplies to rebuild homes. This is a well known foundation which has been active in Chile. If you wixh to donate to them from outside of Chile, use this account. Starting Friday March 5th there will be a Telethon hosted by Mario Kreutzberger, better known in Chile as Don Fransisco (in Miami he may also be well known to Latin Americans there). The Telethon will be run March 5th and 6th in Chile and has a goal of raising some 15 billion pesos for more food and shelter repair. All the foundations I mentioned are involved and also the Fundación Para La Superación De La Pobreza. I believe you can still deposit to those accounts for the telethon. Or deposit in the following accounts in either Banco de Chile or Banco Santander using the account number 2702.I’m very proud to say that Chile made it way passed their goal of $15.000.000.000 pesos and was able to gather $30.212.755.555 Chilean Pesos (about 60 million US dollars).This money is going towards the reconstruction of schools, houses, health clinics and churches. Keep Strong Chile! Also, it just occurred to me, that if you or someone you know wants to send anything to help directly to a loved one and you don’t know how to get the help through to them contact me and I will see what I can do to help you! For the moment this is all I can think of to inform you about helping but if you have a good idea please to share it with me and everyone else!
