Platform cancels kitty of R $ 500 thousand of rescue hero after criticism

The kitty had been closed yesterday, with R $ 522,305.53 collected. Keeping the rate of 20%, the organizers would have R $ 104,461.11 of the total donations made for Indonesian to buy new rescue equipment.

Initially, the action was performed without mediators, with the need for international transfer. Indonesian had resisted to accept financial aid and request only prayers, but then decided to accept them. After that, the donations were concentrated exclusively on VOA.

In the statement, the platform recognizes that the rate communication “could be clearer”. However, it also stresses that the 20% charge on donations was already exposed on the official website, where the campaign was launched.

We recognize with humility that, at this moment, the discussion around the “vacuquinha do Agam” diverted the attention of the essence of the campaign and, especially, the story we wanted to support. Voaa communication and reasons to believe

The platform and page also reinforced the initial explanation for the rate. According to them, the amount taken from donations is reversed beyond the maintenance of the site and employees. “Unlike other market solutions, we fully assume curator, verification, content production, strategic communication, legal and financial management, as well as complete monitoring to the outcome of each campaign,” says the statement.

Our goal was never another but to help, so VOA and reasons to believe will continue to safeguard their morals, ethics and credibility, principles that have always guided our trajectory. We will remain firm in our purpose, seriously doing a job that has been transforming thousands of lives for years, connecting people and having a positive impact. We have sincerely apologize to everyone who may have been uncomfortable, deceived or disrespected. Voaa communication and reasons to believe
