Bolivia needs our help: funds for the firefighters

Hello, my name is Nadia, I am from Santa Cruz Bolivia and I'm currently living in the United States.

The Bolivian government declared a national emergency on September 9th due to wildfires that have destroyed more than 9 million acres of forest and grasslands nationwide.

The country's firefighting forces are stretched thin and the government has called for international aid. Indigenous volunteers tried to protect land they used to grow crops and feed livestock near the Chiquitano forest north of Concepcion that extends towards Brazil and Paraguay, but some have been forced to evacuate.

Currently, 72 active fires are burning across the country, with Santa Cruz in the east the worst affected, reporting 64 major hotspots. Beni in the north-central part of the country has six active fires, while La Paz in the west and Pando in the north each have one.

The fires have put key ecological regions at risk, including Noel Kempff Mercado National Park and protected areas in San Ignacio de Velasco and Concepcion in Santa Cruz.

The firefighters (Heroes) who are fighting the fire that is destroying millions of acres, need our help. They don't even have the proper equipment to put out the fires.

The reason for this cause is to be able to help the firefighters who are truly heroes without capes, who need our help in this battle to which they went without tools.

This money will be sent to the firefighters in Santa Cruz de la Sierra Bolivia and so we can help with some equipment that they need.

If you cannot donate money, it would be helpful if you could share this cause on your social networks.

Thanks for your help!
