I am sharing some causes here that will mostly directly impact Buenaventura following the earthquake emergency, while also keeping in mind other places in Valle del Cauca and Chocó that need help too.
I can assure you that all the options listed here will truly help those who need it most. You can be confident that your money will make a positive difference in these communities. If you prefer to buy supplies to donate, useful items include tents, mattresses, rain-resistant jackets and flashlights. These items will be needed until homes are rebuilt.

Until Buenaventura is fully rebuilt, I will keep contributing wherever help is needed. As of August 12, we have raised a little over $4,200 USD, which has been allocated to purchasing medicine, rebuilding homes and supporting families in the port of Buenaventura, and rebuilding Fanny’s house in Juanchaco.
