Venezuela - Humanitarian Relief
$25.00 - $1,000.00
What would you do if faced with a family that just escaped the horrors of poverty in Venezuela, and all they wanted was a mattress to sleep? Could you ignore the plea for help? How could you? It was just a mattress. That was our experience back in 2017, it was just a mattress, but as we got to know all the things the Venezuelan people were facing; severe poverty, hyperinflation, and lack of medicine, we just could not turn a blind eye. As we listened to the stories, we just knew we had to do more to help. After all, there is a reason why over 5 million Venezuelans have left the country to seek political asylum in neighboring countries. They are desperate.
Four years later, along with all of you, we have sent hundreds of boxes full of food, medicine, and much-needed items. Every day we hear more stories about the growing need and the hope we bring with each box received. How blessed they feel to know that strangers like you care, understand their plight, and are willing to help. Together we can continue to be a beacon of hope to those in need. They ask for so little, like the things we are so fortunate to have at our disposal. Let’s continue to help those that need it most. We can make a real impact in their world and united we bring hope. Will you join us today to bring a smile, a ray of hope to those that need it most? A donation of any size will truly make a difference in someone’s life today.
Global Orphan Outreach
$25.00 - $1,000.00
Humanitarian crises hit developing countries the hardest, and those that are most hurt are young children and those hurt the most among children are orphaned children.
Livingstone is helping orphans in Venezuela - which is suffering through a brutal humanitarian crisis. Livingstone will be supplying food via a local farmer who will bring rice and beans to an orphanage on our behalf every week. We also hope to be able to ship additional supplies as conditions allow.
Please help those that are the most impoverished, exploited, and vulnerable. Please consider what you can do to help these precious children.
La Fundacion Un Corazon Sin Fronteras
$25.00 - $1,000.00
La Fundacion Un Corazon Sin Fronteras (A Heart Without Borders Foundation) is very active in its community. It literally has been a life saver for some who have received donated medicines from them. They have been providing medicine, medical supplies, food and clothing, shoes, toys to those in need in the community whenever they can. La Fundación Un Corazon Sin Fronteras is well known for its contributions to the community. Moises and Rosaida Aldrana are the directors. They were inspired to start this fundacion after the loss of their little six month daughter who died due to lack of medication needed for her. They then vowed to dedicate their lives to helping children and families in need so this would not happen to others.
But now Un Corazon Sin Fronteras is at risk of closing its doors. The economic crisis in Venezuela, coupled with this pandemic is hurting them. They are now $2400.00 past due on the rent and their very existence in this location is at risk. The location is well known by the people who visit frequently and the local hospital who refers patients to them. We need your urgent help. We are also asking for your financial help. If we come together and raise $3000.00 to help them pay what is past due and give them a little extra to pay for a few months of future rent, we can help them keep the doors open. So many people have come to rely on Un Corazon Sin Frontera’s to help them . it would be a hardship to the community they are in if they closed their doors.
Here are some of the things they do:
Medical Days—Free Dr. Consultations at the Un Corazon Sin Fronteras and medicine provided through donations received.
Community Outreach- Distributing clothes, medicines, and toys, etc to those in need.
Hospital Visitations- Visiting patients to deliver medical supplies directly to the needy.
Your donation will be a life saver for them. Won’t you please consider a donation of any size to help us help them? Thank you so much for your support.
Ukraine Emergency Relief
$25.00 - $1,000.00
Livingstone has set up a special fund to help the victims of the war in the Ukraine.
With our partners on the ground in neighboring Moldova, we will provide food and shelter and clothing and supplies to those streaming out of Ukraine across the border.
Please do whatever you can to help these people.
Teachers and Students Charitable Fund
$25.00 - $1,000.00
Teachers and Students face many hurdles.
Students, especially from non-affluent areas, are often hungry and lack school supplies. It is hard to learn on an empty stomach and without basic notebooks and pencils.
Teachers don't get the supplies they need from their school districts and often have to buy things for their classrooms and students out of their own pockets.
Your donation will allow us to get money to the teachers so they can buy supplies for their students (like notebooks, pencils, etc) as well as some simple packaged foods (like breakfast bars and other nutritional snacks).
The need is huge, but your hearts are larger. Be the Hero today!
