Daily wage working families in Iran need help during COVID-19 outbreak

Daily wage working families in Iran need help during COVID-19 outbreak

Amid the shock, pain and fear of the novel Coronavirus, Iran, one of the most affected countries by the virus, has also been suffering from crippling American and international sanctions for years. These sanctions have made thousands of local businesses vanish and reversed the previously decreasing rate of poverty in this country, endangering the livelihood of millions of Iranians. On top of the international isolation, Iranian government has been the embodiment of incompetence and discrepant statistics since the beginning of the outbreak by not shutting down pilgrim sites, offices, banks, and not quarantining the city the outbreak started from and even worse than that by mocking the international measures taken to limit the spread and misinformation campaigns on state TV that lead to the public not taking the disease seriously and continue their daily activities. Since millions are daily-waged in Iran, they suffer from biological poverty if they don’t leave home every day. By only 20 euros you can support one whole family to have acceptable quality of nutrition for a few days.We are directly connected to over fifty families and can send your support directly to them so they can supply themselves for one month without needing to work outside. Since the sanctions have made it impossible to send money to Iran, we have used our network of trusted people that are willing to help with the transaction. You can share the joy of getting through the hard times of quarantine by enabling at least one more family in a highly affected part of the world to also be able to stay safe.

Rice for the Himalayas

Rice for the Himalayas

Dear Family and Friends, Namaste from Dubai and Kathmandu and welcome to the "Rice for the Himalayas" money pot !With just 1-click you can contribute to this emergency fund to help the villagers of Phakding, in The Himalayas who are badly affected by the COVID pandemic.Further to the worldwide travel restrictions, tourists have cancelled their trips to the majestic Himalayas resulting in a total absence of revenue for those villages completely dependent on the economy generated by the travellers. Located in the remote areas of Nepal, they are unfortunatley neglected by their government.Let me give you a bit of background... In Summer 2018, I left for holidays in Italy and realized I had forgotten all my books expcept one "The Lonely Planet" about Nepal. Every night, I was reading relentlessly this book, dreaming and imagining the natural beauties of this country, promissing to myself to visit it very soon. In November of the same year, my grand-mother passed away and left me with a beautiful legacy. After her funerals, my family had organised a gathering to thank the people who has attended the ceremony, as per the French tradition. Among the attendees, were Mr & Mrs Lesot, friends of my parents from the same village as us and whom I knew for their generosity and passion for Nepal. I asked them about recommentations to visit Nepal and they introduced me to their adopted Nepalese son Pemba Sherpa, mountain guide, originated from the Himalayas. In December 2018, the 5 of us and my Dad visited Kathmandu and its valley, met Pemba and fell in love with this beautiful country. In April 2019, Gaspard, Paola, Jean and I travelled to Pokara, trekked for 5 days in the Annapurnas, visited many villages, safely guided by Pemba and his team. It is one of our most memorable and lovely experiences. The exploration should have continued but unfortunately the Covid pandemic surged and upended many of our projects.Today, with my friend, Pemba Sherpa, who I trust 100% for his honesty, integrity and transparency, we decided to support the people affected by the pandemic and support them with their essential needs. Our first objective is to give them access to food/rice. Thanks to this money pot, I will send the money to Pemba who will convert it into rice bags to each family in needs in his area.With just 1-click you can contribute to this emergency solidarity chain.* Give however much you want. For your information, 1 bag of 10kg rice costs 5 euros in Nepal, it is not so much for us but means so much for them.* You can chose to be anonymous.* All payments are 100% secure.* Our organization is very simple, just Pemba and I, therefore there is absolutely no waste in the redistribution of your contribution.We open this money pot till 31st december 2020, we thank you very much in advance for taking time to read this message.With love and care,Stephanie & PembaPs : The profile picture is the smile of Himalayan children when receiving the cloths of Paola.

Dear EDITION team,As some of you may have heard, Philippines have been ravaged by a Typhoon. Some of our colleagues have family there, their houses have been destroyed and they lost their belonging.We want to help and raise some money to support them.THANK YOUPlease see below a message to Rachel Anne to us: Dear Edition Family, One week before Christmas Typhoon Odette (International name: Rai) the strongest typhoon Ravaged the Central and Southern parts of the Philippines on December 16-17 2021, it started around 1pm from other regions of the Philippines and the eye of the typhoon lands until dawn in our hometown provinces in the Philippines. What happened is still so fresh until now, every detail,every feeling,every worry are still felt by some filipinos which was badly affected. A lot of livelihood were gone, many families had lost their houses including ours and even lives were lost during the catastrophe, the devastation was unforgettable. It was the first time in our whole life my family experienced a traumatic such tragedy in our place. But despite the trials they are facing right now, seeing the smiles on their faces and the heartbreaking yet uplifting spirit of "Importante Buhi" or "the most Important is we're alive" shows how optimistic and resilient these people are and had me the reason to help and this is the only way I could help them and to ease their pain. In behalf of the victims of Typhoon Odette especially my family and neighbours in my hometown, I am Rachel from Ronda Cebu Philippines, knocking on your generous and humble heart to please help me raise some aid for my small hometown who is devastatingly hit by Typhoon (Rai) locally named as Odette. They were on Signal number 4 category. All telecommunications are down, even at this moment i wasn't able to have a direct contact with my parents only my brother who travel 5 hrs to the city from our province to find connection to update us even just for a couple of minutes, no electricity, no internet, limited food and no water supply at this moment. The life in my country is tough. You work hard for less money and in a blink of an eye, everything is lost. God is still good to spare one's life coz we Filipinos are resilient and will always rise up. Morever, With the aid of your help and heartfelt donations of any kind amount, it can provide water, food and medicine. From there on, the trusted individual will buy all the relief goods to be sent and distributed to our hometown (Ronda Cebu Philippines). And In behalf of my 2 co-filipino workers, one is from Bohol (Arlyn: uniform attendant) which she is also from one of which greatly affected areas in the Philippines and 1 guy (kitchen staff) who somehow lost his family's source of income in cebu. I know their families are also in need of basic necessities. I want to share to them the financial support that will be raise. Or if you want to offer them personally the support is way better. Bohol and Cebu Philippines are now under state of calamity. Also your contributions will help other families who got affected by the pandemic and lost their source of income. Everything will be documented including your financial support. If you have questions, I would be happy to provide you with more information. May God repay you a hundred folds for your kind donation. 🙏🏻🖤 (this is open to anyone who wants to help and support) these are the devastating reality and aftermath of typhoon Odette. Together we rise strong, but we need help too, that's the reality. 😔thank you so much and may God bless us all.🙏🏻🖤

Helping out a gay refugee

Helping out a gay refugee

Hi there, to whoever is reading this. My name is Rammah Alashkar I’m a 23-year-old Arab gay boy from Syria, who is currently in French Guiana and in the need of much help, Here is my story so that maybe you could understand where I’m coming from and how maybe you could eventually help me.Everything started in my homeland Syria. Maybe everyone already knows about the situation that's going on there currently, but if not I’ll tell you. Syria has been in a very violent and severe war for almost 9 years now. In 2017 I had to flee my country and leave my entire life behind so that I didn't get drafted in the army to give my service (which basically meant to go and die). I came to Venezuela, a country where the entire culture was different and I barely knew anyone. I was so devastated as I left home, my friends and my life in Syria behind and sadly enough for me things didn't go better. I’m grateful that I could flee and survive don't get me wrong, but Venezuela had been also having their own issues with economy, politics and also safety, there I had to stay for two years in one room on the building of a couple of relatives. This room had a broken ac, a non-working fridge, and a very old broken bed. This wasn't enough to get me fully down tho, as I said I stayed two years there, what was really crushing me was the disconnect from culture, other humans and from myself. I started to get really depressed because I was being discriminated for acting differently and yelled at for not “trying” enough to invest myself in this new life of mine. But this felt like no life for me, each second of every day I felt unhappy. I had to leave.Thankfully enough my parents helped me out with some money to go to French Guiana cause there they were accepting people who fled from Venezuela. The problem was that the place where I was supposed to arrive in French Guiana belonged to my homophobic uncle, with whom I already had had problems. This wasn't the first time that I was discriminated from my relatives because of my sexuality, it happened a lot to in the place where I stayed at in Venezuela, I hadn't been out but people and especially my relatives would give me dirty looks and discriminate me because of my sexuality and for how I was. Therefore I couldn't get to that point again. That's why when I got here to French Guiana I immediately asked for refuge in an LGBTQ+ Center. Things seemed to be having a turning point for me or at least that's what I thought.Now to the present day. I had plans of starting over, getting a job, learn french and leave for France as soon as possible. But finding a job here was very difficult for me not only because I didn't know the language but because people were discriminating against me yet again, and this time it wasn’t only caused by my sexuality but because of my race. And when I finally started school the pandemic happened, I couldn't finish my studies cause I’m quarantined, therefore I couldn't get a job, which led me to not being able to leave for France.I’m very depressed at the moment, it seems like the odds are always against me and I can never get it right. But I’m not giving up yet and to do so I need ur help. You see the LGBTQ+ Center only offers their refugees a place to stay for a certain amount of months, me I have only 2 months left. Even if the pandemic and quarantine are through in a short time, it wouldn't give me the time to save up the money that I need for my plane ticket and save my arrival in France. That's why your donation means so much to me, anything is appreciated.Oh and also, if you’re having troubles through this site my PayPal is( PayPal.me/ramosxcurse )thank you for taking your time of the day to read my story and if you donated thank you so much for giving me hope for a future again. Goodbye :)
