Tumblr user @xiuzhenist’s grandmother needs our help.

Here’s an excerpt of what’s going on:

We’re 2 Venezuelan siblings living in Spain with our grandmother. None of us can work and the little money we have barely covers our bills. Our country’s government hasn’t paid the elderly who live outside of Venezuela the pension they worked all their lives for in almost two years.

Our grandma’s dentures are damaged beyond repair and she can’t eat anymore. The surgery she needs costs €5000 (+ recovery medicines).

Here’s some things you should know:

– Venezuela is collapsing, and most people living abroad fled the country in less than optimal financial conditions.

– Pensions in Venezuela were dismal to begin with.

Please signal boost.

Because I won’t give up on this. My people already have it hard and I can’t turn the blind eye to a grandmother who needs help. I want to believe that this will end well and become one of those stories that can remind us that humanity can come thru for those who need it most.
