Persons are using the crowd-funding platform GoFundMe to raise 100,000 US dollars to provide assistance to persons displaced due to the La Soufrière volcano in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
The volcano began erupting yesterday morning, hours after the government ordered the evacuation of persons living near the area.
The goal is to help financially support the long-term needs of many Vincentian families, students, and children who will be displaced for months to come, they noted.
The organisers added that the funds raised will go to serve the direct needs of individuals and small grassroots organisations supporting those directly displaced by the ongoing disaster.
