WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP VENEZUELA?

glad you asked, because that’s what this post is about.

here are some ways to help if you’re outside of the country ➡️

DETAILED INFO AND LINKS:
my linktree now includes a document with several links to news articles regarding the venezuelan earthquakes and donation info that you can check more easily than through instagram slides. will be constantly updating it. QR code here, link in my bio as well.

i urge you to give it a look before you make any donations, as it’s very important to know what you’re doing.

ONLINE DONATIONS FOR VENEZUELAN EARTHQUAKE RELIEF:

here are some trusted ways to donate:

https://dona.yummyrides.com/
https://caritasvenezuela.org/donaciones/
https://www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-relief-for-venezuela-earthquake-victims
https://donarseguro.com/en

note: do NOT donate to Cruz Roja (the venezuelan red cross) since they work with the regime and they keep the donations and supplies, they’re a scam

alternatively, if you see venezuelan artists offering commissions, COMMISSION THEM! many talented artists across all social media are offering their art in exchange for your donation towards earthquake relief.

please also know that many have also lost their home and loves ones, so be patient and remember that this is for charity.

twitter has been the most active with the venezuelan art community sharing each other’s posts offering commissions. we are literally everywhere, just look up “venezuela earthquake commissions”

if you can’t donate, PLEASE at least share our posts! this tragedy is being talked about very little in the anglosphere compared to when they captured maduro. it’s genuinely distressing to see how so many prioritized a dictator’s life over our own.

Design sheet of a cute alien creature named Gnorpy. The Image showcases some of her abilities such as manipulating light into a pair of wings or a beam attack.

Design sheet for a fan-made Pokemon based on a Flamingo. Design is inspired primarily by flamingo's tendency to nest and wade in highly acidic volcanic water pools, and by ballet.

Design sheet of a fan-made regional design of the Pokemon Psyduck and Golduck which lean further into their associations with the legend of Kappa. These Fakemon wouldve had an affinity for a cucumber-like item and used it for evolution and would be considered very territorial protectors of swamp/marshlands.

I finished a chibi/pokedoll Polteageist plush today! It has an antique stamp on the bottom as well, so it's among the top 1% tea ghosties~ ✨️

It was fun to do a bit of hand embroidery for this ^^

This was for a c0mm for someone on Discord!
