A guide on donations for the Venezuelan earthquake
This past June 24th, my homeland Venezuela was hit with two earthquakes category 7.2 and 7.5.
Why is this a big deal, beyond the obvious?
Venezuela is not dealing with an absence of government, it's actively fighting back a government that terrorizes, steals, tortures and kills. They've done nothing but try to bloke humanitarian help from other countries and close down any donation centers that belongs to the opposition.
This is a dictatorship run by murderers, and they are behaving as such. It is cruel on its maximum expression, but no one is surprised.
This political climate combined with the absolute scarcity of economic resources in Venezuela, means that the country and its people are entirely dependent on international help. all the efforts done to help people have been carried out by Venezuelan citizens and international forces that have come to the aid, which we are extremely grateful for.
If you want to donate money, always ensure that these sites and websites are not affiliated with the government whatsoever. Always donate to independent foundations and even individuals otherwise these funds will never reach the people.
A comprehensive platform created by Venezuelan Ernesto Fuenmayor that contains information regarding numerous trusted charities not linked with the government. Constantly being updated and available in English.
If any of you also live in countries and states with large Venezuelan communities that have organized donation centers to send material donations to Venezuela, don't doubt to donate anything! Such as:
β
Canned goods and non-perishable food
β
Clothing and blankets in good shape
β
Medicine and first aid
Thanks to anyone who has already donated, shared or even just prayed for our people. Events like this have brought the worst and the best of the world, and we couldn't be more grateful for the amount of international help that's been mobilized to help our homeland. Venezuela is barely a country anymore, with millions of Venezuelans trying to survive the regime.
