An old friend of mine from Argentina is going through some difficult times, not enough work, little income, can't afford the full rent, etc. I am trying to organize a monthly delivery of food for her to help her. I can order a few things for 2 or 3 months and hopefully she won't have to spend money on it and may help towards the rent, landlord already said she may have to move out
Trying to sort out the long distance payment and order, not as straight forward as in some countries. To give you an example,
I had sent a simple gift before Christmas 2020: I wanted to support the Elephant Minds Foundation so I bought myself one of the beautiful elephant puzzles (all profits go to the educational projects).
I sent it to my sister's little girl who is learning English. She only got the message to collect the parcel this week, 6 months later!!!! She must now go to customs to take it, and probably pay extra for it! I do feel grateful it's there and not lost.
Wish me luck with my friend, hope it'll make a difference to her struggle.
