We're a community initiative in the Bailiwick of Jersey raising emergency funds for families affected by the earthquake in Venezuela — and we're committed to showing you exactly where every pound goes.
Organised by Mariano Antonio Ferreira Correia and volunteer friends in Jersey.
Every donation follows the same three steps. We will keep updating this page with real figures and receipts as the campaign progresses.
Donations are currently collected through our official GoFundMe campaign, linked throughout this site.
Funds raised in Jersey are pooled and tracked openly, with regular public updates on totals collected.
Money is transferred through verified channels so it can reach affected families, hospitals and urgent local needs safely.
The funds raised will support people who truly need urgent help, including affected families and hospitals where assistance is needed most.
Money will only be sent through secure and verified humanitarian, community, family or hospital channels, with checks before any transfer is made.
Aid may be used for urgent family needs and for hospitals or medical centres that can confirm they need support for affected people.
Funds will not be handed to political or government intermediaries. The aim is to reduce risk and make sure help reaches the people and places it is intended for.
Because help is needed now, the physical products already collected, and any future physical items received, will be sold locally through a solidarity car boot / charity market.
Sending physical goods to Venezuela can be very expensive, slow and difficult to track. Turning those items into money allows the support to move faster, more safely and with better transparency.
The money raised from the market will be deposited into the cause account or added to the official digital fundraising channel. The date, time and location of the market will be announced as soon as more information is confirmed.
This is our current, active fundraising channel. Updates will explain how money is collected, converted from physical donations when needed, and delivered through verified channels.
Digital donations are currently processed securely through GoFundMe. Cash donations and money raised from physical items will be paid into the cause account or added to the official fundraising channel.

We're finalising verified routes in Venezuela so support can reach families and urgent local needs safely. Details will be published when confirmed.
Hospitals or medical centres may receive support when they can confirm a real need. We only publish or use routes once verified.
