In Venezuela,
hurry up and suffer (
Urgente, ayuda) for the sin of having voted for the Bolivarian Revolution. In Maduroland, fifteen year old leukemia patients have to beg on social media for medications;
“Urgent: Williannys Avila, 15 years old, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia requires medication. Telephone: 04128995443.”
Fortunately, there are charities in the worker's paradise;
The crisis has been met with various attempts by desperate
Venezuelans to secure medicines, including the intervention of
charitable groups. In October 2013, local NGO the Heart Foundation created a Medicines Bank in
the industrial hub of Valencia, some 150 kilometers southwest of
Caracas. Residents are invited to donate unwanted medical supplies to
distribution centers around the city.
The foundation updates lists of
the medicines it has in stock weekly. “In the last 10 months, people
have donated around 7,600 medicines, and we currently have 7,500 in the
inventory. We supply people with around 1,500 items of medication per
month,” Heart Foundation President Rifat Richani told the PanAm Post.
Gee, what happened to all those wonderful Cuban doctors Castro sent?
