VIDA and Chile Need Your Help
By Adam See | Executive Director
As we shared in our last report about our work in Chile, we need your help in carrying out our work. Natural disasters are impacting the lives of the most vulnerable both here and abroad. Unfortunately, millions are still impacted from previous year’s disasters. This is one of the sad realities of international aid. There is a tendency to deal with the most immediate devastation and the long-term rebuilding is often ignored. Chile is once such example. Yet our support continues in Chile with container shipments to our local partner FEDES. FEDES then distributes the supplies to points of need throughout the country. VIDA is raising funds to make an additional shipment of emergency medical aid, all items specifically requested by our partner FEDES, but WE NEED YOUR HELP!
VIDA needs to not only pay for the ocean freight, but we need to help FEDES pay for custom fees in Chile and in country distribution costs. VIDA is focusing on two FEDES projects - Villa de Ancianos Padre Alberto Hurtado Foundation a non -profit that hosts more than 200 elderly people that are either homeless or abandoned. The second is a collaboration with healthcare providers in the District of San Bernardo which provides care to some of Chile’s most impoverished citizens.
VIDA can make these shipments possible for $2,500 due to a matching gift. Thank you for your generosity.

We Need Your Help!

Recent floods in Peru have directed several shipments to aid in the immediate crisis. Yet our support continues in Chile with container shipments to our local partner FEDES. FEDES then distributes the supplies to points of need throughout the country. VIDA is preparing an additional shipment of emergency medical aid, all items specifically requested by FEDES, but WE NEED YOUR HELP!
