My name is Sofia, and I’m creating this fundraiser for a close friend and her family in Pereira, Colombia, whose home was severely damaged by the earthquake that struck the region today.

In a matter of moments, their home — a place filled with memories, safety, and love — was left badly damaged, creating an overwhelming and unexpected loss for the family. They are now facing the difficult process of rebuilding and covering urgent expenses.

I couldn’t stand by and do nothing. I’m raising funds to help support the family with the reconstruction of their home, essential repairs, and immediate needs as they begin to rebuild their lives.

Every donation, no matter the amount, can make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and community would mean just as much.
