Well, actually my husband and I (Belgium) have been supporting families in the US through go fund me. One family is in Chicago, and the other one is in Tennessee, after hearing about their plight on the Internet, we decided that we had to do something, especially since their kids need to go to school and after that to college, Needless to say, we have made great friends across the ocean, and we have regular Zoom meetings to stay in touch.

Just kidding, we are supporting projects in Kenya, especially since US Americans decided on cutting USAID, they can go f$@k themselves.

You had me worried in the first half fellow Belgian.
Not that USAID is OK, but that's another example of american scumbaggery.
