(The picture shows Tsunami, a local rescue dog who was among the first to respond in my city, Caracas, and three dogs representing the aid sent from other countries)
On June 24, 2026, my country, Venezuela, suffered a disaster of enormous proportions: two earthquakes, one following the other, that caused widespread destruction throughout the country. Many cities suffered both material and human losses.
Buildings and homes collapsed with people inside. There are casualties. Many. The situation is bleak.
Allied nations around the world have sent aid to Venezuela, and I am eternally grateful and humbled by that.
I live in Caracas, the capital of this country, and although the situation here is grim and difficult, it pales in comparison to the reality faced in La Guaira, a coastal city less than half an hour from the capital. I am fine. My house sustained minor damage, nothing too serious.
