Millions of Syrians have been forced to flee their homes due to war and violence in their homeland. Part of this crisis has also reached us. Not only through TV screens, but right on your doorstep. Europe has started, the world has started. And Kickstarter, the crowdfunding platform, has launched, where probably the most important Kickstarter campaign to date is currently underway! A campaign that collects monetary contributions to help refugees. It was launched by the White House, and an individual can contribute $25, $50, or $100.
Kickstarter he got a humanitarian touch. According to the new law, it not only helps individuals and companies collect the necessary financial resources, but also To the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The White House recently launched campaign with which she began to accumulate financial resources to help people who have fled the Middle East and looking for a better life in Europe.

Unlike other Kickstarter campaigns The "buyer" receives nothing in return for the financial contributionr, except knowing that he has done a good job and that someone will have a chance for a better life because of it. If you were them, you'd probably want someone to do it for you. The campaign, which does not have a set financial goal and will therefore succeed in any case (currently it has already collected over 1.1 million dollars), runs until October 13, 2015, and all collected funds, managed by UNHCR, will go to those in need. The money will go into sleeping mats and bags for one person, drinking water for 50 people, packages for two people with food, thermal blanket, dry clothes and water, packages for one person with water, food, thermal blanket and shelter in a tent , as well as annual education and care for one child.
