Hi, my name is Roni Martins, I've been living outside of Brazil, but I decided to post this so that others can help with this cause too. Including those that are not currently living in their home country.
I always say that Christmas is a really magical time. I still remember the good peaceful moments I've spent with my family and friends in the comfort of our home.
Recently, I found out about an NGO in Brazil that helps children afflicted by a disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidermolysis_bullosa.
Unfortunately, the NGO is in need of resources and the government says they cannot help.
The NGO is called Jardim das Borboletas (Butterfly Gardens) and is located in the state of Bahia. The medications and bandages are really expensive and frequently needed. Currently, the NGO takes care of 60 people, most of them children.
There are many ways you can help. You can make a financial donation or, if you live outside of Brazil, you can buy the bandages directly on eBay and send them to an address in the United States where a collaborator will send them to Brazil.
Due to the Brazilian high taxation on medication, importing them is the cheapest and best way to get it.
The medications you can donate are:
- Urgo Tul
- Mepilex Transfer (with Safetac Technology) 20 x 50 cm / 8 x 20 in
- PolyMem 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm) non-adhesive pad
You can buy those and send them directly to this address:
Karina - Jardim das Borboletas
2524 Adele Court
Sewickley - PA 15143
In addition, is possible do an international deposit using this information:
Bank: Bradesco
Jardim das Borboletas – CNPJ 28.413.544/0001-02
Code IBAN: BR36 6074 6948 0309 2000 0201 499C 1
If you received this message, but cannot help, please share it with as many people as possible, so that we can help these children this Christmas.
