About the author
Paulo Leão, 44, father of two small childreen, and committed to help refugees.
Board member of the recently created non-profit association 'Families like Ours'.
Owner of CENTRAL MENSAGEIRO, LDA and CENTRAL MENU.
By integrating the first caravan "Families like ours" promoted by Nuno Felix, I had the opportunity to make contact with the sad reality of war refugees.
Despite helping by working in field (Opatovac - Croatia), and helped transporting a Syrian family to Portugal, when I saw the news about the increasingly difficulties for refugees, and having found that most are families with small children. I decided I had to come back!
It is imperative to help refugee families!

Budget and due dates
The daily expenditure of each volunteer will be safeguarded by himself - food and stay (average 50€ / day) - 7-10 days of travel.
The crowdfounding serves to:
Participate with 500€ (fuel and tolls) for each car caravan. Corresponds to 50% of expenditure for each vehicle. It is estimated that the total expenditure per car is 1,000€.
Remaining funds will be for the purchase of materials needed for humanitarian aid to refugees. After contact with NGOs that are on the ground, we will survey the needs, and we will try to provide the necessary.

Utilização dos Fundos Angariados
Ainda que não consigam atingir os 5000€ também considero que devem poder utilizar aquilo que for possível angariar! A vossa viagem fará mais sentido assim. Li um comentário com o qual passei a concordar: dar dinheiro nem sempre é garantia de que chegue a quem precisa (não será este o caso!) mas, correndo tudo bem, é o modo mais ecológico e eficaz de ajudar que precisa "in locco"! Em contacto com as ONGs locais poderão ir comprar o que faz falta sem termos que deslocar camiões TIR (contribui para a Caravana Aylan Kurdi!) que acabam por custar fortunas e muitos dissabores a quem tem a iniciativa!
MUITA SORTE E USEM O DINHEIRO DA MELHOR FORMA POSSÍVEL!
