I think the right thing to do is to make an easy-to-read report addressed to those who have contributed to this campaign, to those who don't know it, and to those who are thinking of joining it.
Fundraising campaign for communities affected by the pandemic caused by Covid-19 in Medellín.
The objective of this campaign is to collect funds to send aid to different neighborhoods of Medellín, where the informal economies that sustained them collapsed and now threaten to collapse the homes of thousands of people. The campaign officially kicked off on April 1, 2020, led by NOMAD and their friends and family. After that first contribution, many more arrived like a magical shower of solidarity. At first, the campaign was directed only to the El Faro neighborhood of commune 8. Later, fortunately, the aid was so generous that we were able to contribute to other campaigns in the La Honda and La Cruz neighborhoods of commune 3 and La Torre, in the Popular 1.
