DO! NOT! DONATE! TO! AMAZON! CONSERVATION! NGOs! DO NOT!

they don’t act on the root of the problem, they don’t mitigate the effects of deforestation, they do have limited action and they don’t help conserve the forest land outside their very small grounds besides doing little to nothing to help the people who actually live in the amazon and conserve it on a daily basis

Look

I know some people might not care about this. I know some people think this is to complicated. And I know some people think this won’t affect them. But here’s the thing, IT WILL definantly effect you no matter where you live. It will effect you tumblr user, you reddit users, and you watching youtube.

If this law gets passed then it’s gonna inspire the rest of the world. It was just like how in the USA.

The video is barley sixteen minutes and less if you skip ahead.

IT IS THE TRANSLATED AND SIMPLE VERSION OF ARTICLE 13’S IMPLICATIONS

Do you see that? Looks like a joke image, right? Well, it isn’t.

This happens in Venezuela. It looks like nobody knows how is our crisis, because I’ve talked with a lot of people (Americans, French, Canadian and even Mexican people) who really don’t know what is happening.

I’ll explain the imagen.

In Venezuela, we haven’t medicines, even in the hospitals. This is because a patient with hypoglycemia is being attended in this way, because the hospital don’t have dextrose for the people. This is happening in Caracas, Venezuela’s capital. But not only in Caracas, is confirmed that in Maracaibo too, and who know where too.

Another cases:

“I take prednisone for animals because I can’t found it anywhere and it helps me, isn’t logic, but our health can’t wait”

“Confirmed, I’m medic performing in so many decadency. We even’t have privates places for dextrose for decompensated diabetics and believe me I could write for hours about so many that I’ve lived in the middle of this catastrophic crisis, where personally I’ve take with me a hurted pacient behind of a 350 because we haven’t ambulances, where we haven’t gloves for protect ourselves and a lot of  things like that, this is the reality…. It must be give “ORALLY” because the drink is rich in glucose (Sugar) for these pacients this imagen showes [She means the soda imagen] how is conected to a micromanager where it doesn’t looks very good… But it’s valid by an OROGASTRIC probe. As a heroic way, becase like we know “It’s incorrect”.

I even can give my own testomony. My mom is sick, and she must work everyday, I can’t help her because my leg is broken, and my brother must help his own family. She’s in pain everyday, and the money is too hard to found. If there’s money, but there’s no medicine. And, if there’s medicine, there’s no money, because all the treatments are very expensive, like everything, for our inflation on the 1600%.

Since 2014, our crisis is worse with the health zone. There’s no too many medicines, and a lot of operations and treatments are delayed for this same reason.

The hospitals don’t have spaces, litters or beds for the patients.

If you go to a farmacy, there’s no medicine.

A lot of hospitals are in a terrible state.

Supplies that were lacking in public hospitals included sterile gloves and gauze, antiseptics, alcohol for medical use, scalpels, needles, catheters, intravenous solutions, nebulizers and surgical sutures. It was even common to lack basic cleaning supplies (such as bleach), which are essential to ensure a sterile environment in hospitals. Unhealthy conditions have led to in-hospital infections that could have been prevented.

And this is only talking about the health zone.

If we talk about the food shortage and the hyper inflation…

We must do LOOOOOONG lines for hours for buy the basic food. Like flour, sugar, rice, pasta, meat, chicken…. 

We only can buy one time at the week, for the last number of our ID. 

Please - someone IN Venezuela. Give me a name. A valid website. Something. I will do my damnedest to make something happen, even if it’s just a few families getting fed a few days.

The only way we have to fight this crisis is through social media, we use twitter to find meds and food and we came up with a few apps like Donamed or Akiztá to help us find what we need. 

There are a bunch of twitter accounts dedicated to locate meds, such as: @spvzla, @MedicinasEquiv, @Flapastillita, @compartex1vida, @sanandove, @Donatumed, @AyudaMedicinasV y @DonandoMedicin1

For the people out there that want to help, like I said… it’s hard to tell you how you could do that because there’s no warranty that we’ll get the help. Still, I won’t let them win so I did my research and I found a few websites that I think you guys can trust and can donate to.

http://comparteporunavida.com/ —> With your donation, this people get formula and nutritional suppliments for children in hospitals and homes in need.

http://www.ayudahumanitariavenezuela.org/english.html —> You can go to their online shop to buy medical supplies from a wish list, which are then delivered to those in need.

https://www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/donate/sponsor-a-child/ —> I think you can choose and sponsor a Venezuelan child.

http://www.chamos.org.uk/about-us/ —> They provide financial support for children to acquire medical, educational or other essential equipment.

http://www.corazonymanosenaccion.com/dona_ahora.htm —> The thing with this site is that the bank accounts they work with are from here, so I don’t know the process when it’s an international donation.

The other sites I could find two gofundme created by people like you and me, I hope they mean well and that the money they receive reaches the people who really need it.

If anyone knows more valid websites where people can go and make their donation, please feel free to add it.

You see, our country has been in a crises for years, but since 2016 it became WAY WORSE and honestly we don’t eve know what to do. Every day there’s ton of people that leave the country in hope to find a better place to live, but because of this, many other countries like Mexico, Colombia, Panamá and United State have BANNED the venezuelans from getting in, the xenophobia against us getting worse every day. And for those who stay, it’s almost impossible to live if you don’t have access to Dollars.

Let me put it in this way; If you have a job here, the minimum salary you get is 5.000.000 BsF. Sounds like a lot, right? Well, it isn’t, because with that, you can’t even an egg carton, valued in 5.800.000 BsF. Jobs are poorly paid and everything is waaaaaaay too expensive for us to buy it. Plus like you read above, food is hard to find, we don’t have medicines here and, a top of that, services like electricity and water fail EVERY TIME, leaving places with over 20 days without water or an entire week without power.

Public transport practically doesn’t exist, in the capital we mostly rely in our subway system, which is failing every day, it gets no maintenance so it presents delays and problems all the time. There are only around 1-2 buses in every area of the city, taxis are too expensive and if you think you can just walk to your destination think it twice, because the insecurity won’t let you walk on the street without being an easy victim of a robbery or even worse; a murder.

All the help is blocked, other countries have tried to send us food and medicines but the government just rejects it and doesn’t let it in. You could say “but why did you guys vote for him?” And that’s the thing, we didn’t. They always post fake numbers, cheat in elections and even threat people to vote for them or they’ll stop giving them money and food.

We have been trying to overthrow this government since 2014, in fact, we practically had two civil wars since that date, but there’s no avail… the whole army is with the government, so if someone tries to protest, the army kills them. There have been occasions when we need to hide in our houses, block the windows and turn the lights off because the government is around destroying private property (buildings), shooting, throwing tear gas or the Chavistas got in their motorbikes and start shooting to the apartments and houses with no reason. If you don’t believe me, just look for it on Youtube, put “Protestas en Venezuela” and you’ll see the chaos. We practically live in a post-apocalyptic society.

I could spend here the whole day writing about how terrible is our situation, but I already wrote too much.

If you know someone from Venezuela in your country, ask them how you can help us, they probably still have family here and are trying their best to earn money to be able to take their family out of here.

If you see a Venezuelan artist doing commissions, try to commission them or donating them at least 1 usd, there are high chances that it is the only “proper” income their family have. (Or they’re trying to save money to leave the country).

Fight for us in your country, if you see xenophobic acts against us, try to help us and change the mind of the xenophobic person/group.
