Campaign Story
National State of Emergency declared in Samoa for measles epidemic. 7 babies dead so far, 800+ people sick and growing daily. The hospitals are running out of everything, but I'm focusing on the kids and their families who are really struggling as many people are unable to work and really struggling for basics.
Food will be bought and given to the soup kitchens.
Nappies and milk powder I will distribute personally.
I'm already doing what I can, but have very limited resources. I'm immune as I had measles as a kid, so I'm able to get around with no issues.
Every little bit will help.
Thanks
