Venezuela was hit by two earthquakes yesterday, a 7.2 and a 7.5. Many parts of the country have been reduced to rubble, and areas of Caracas have been flattened. Their infrastructure has already been under immense strain. Here's how you can help:

Yummy, one of Venezuela's biggest rideshare and delivery platforms, is currently matching 25% of all donations up to $100,000. This is one of the fastest and safest ways to get emergency funds to ground operations.

Cáritas Venezuela is the Catholic Church's local humanitarian arm. They are actively deploying food, supplies, clean water and medical care to those most affected.

Venezuela still needs help after the 7.2 and 7.5 earthquakes that hit the country as too many people have lost everything.

The regime has made everything even more difficult, not only NOT helping the people stuck under the rubble, but ordering collection centers to close down and they have even been kidnapping people speaking out, so it's very important that if you're going to donate, do so to organizations that have zero ties to the government.

The Venezuelan Red Cross has been controlled by the government for years so any money donated to them will never reach the people that need it. Please DO NOT donate there.

Here are two great resources I personally trust.

Yummy is a delivery and transportation service (like Uber) and their CEO has been very transparent on social media with where all the money is going, and you can now check that on the website itself. They've been also giving free rides to people that need to go to the hospital or to gathering centers so their work has been truly great.

You can donate as little or as much as you'd like in pretty much any currency and your donation will be matched by a bunch of other companies.

If instead you'd like to donate to other organizations or you would like to volunteer or bring supplies in person to your local collection center, you can check out all that info on this website. It's all divided by different focuses so check out where you feel more comfortable donating.
