Hi there, this is my first time doing something like this but i've really been struggling so i feel i need to do this

I'm dara, latina 24 y.o. lgbt girl from south america. I've been struggling with money these past few months. Due to covid it's been really REALLY hard for us latin americans and my country's reaching over 3000 deaths due to covid a day. Vaccines are not accessible to the entire population yet, only 60+ people, and still it's going at a really slow pace (no hope for me being vaccinated this year). I'm unemployed, and although i've been searching i cant get a job. Also there are my significant other's health issues (they have a lung problem, so cant go to work bc of risk of getting covid). They are recieving financial support from government but it cant cover all expenses and it's all the 2 of us are earning right now. So i've decided to ask for donations...

Our country's currency is really devalued internationally (idk specific economic terms in english sorry) so trust me, even a dollar helps. Converting it, 5 dollars is enough to pay 1 person a full meal, so do trust me EVEN $1 HELPS! Our rent is currently (equivalent to) 200usd and i dont expect to get this much but it would help a lot

Anyway please donate if you can! If you cant its okay ofc and please reblog also so this can get to more people 🙏🏻 im so thankful to every single person who reblogs and donates

Paypal donation
