oh look at the time!

If you are able, please consider donating to the Venezuela Humanitarian Fund. They dispense donations out to local organizations on the ground in Venezuela, and you can donate as little as 2 dollars. If you know of any local organizations who are able to take donations online, please share them.

There are, of course, tons of local organizations and efforts ongoing. These often involving donating through Zelle or other mobile pay apps and I know that many people are less likely to donate if there are ‘extra steps.’

In light of this, I’ve added a few larger, “easier”organizations providing aid in Venezuela rn that you can donate to.

USGS says 44 per cent probability human toll could exceed 10,000 in Venezuela tremors

The human toll from Venezuela’s twin earthquakes could be severe, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS). The agency warned there is a 44 per cent probability that the death toll could exceed 10,000 and a significant risk of widespread destruction following the back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude quakes on Wednesday evening. Rescue teams remain on the ground as authorities work to determine the full scale of casualties and damage.
