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.

hi!! i made a solo journaling game on itch.io if you want to check it out :))

from the game page:

Welcome to Pine's Landing, a small coastal town with a close-knit community. Draw cards and roll some dice to come up with the details of your character's life and interactions with the people in town. 

Flexible in terms of themes and genre, allowing players to choose to focus on friendships, lore and mysteries, helping out your community, or wherever else the narrative may take you.

Here are some trustworthy places to donate to;

• yummy rides

• carita venezuela

• dividendo voluntario

Here are a few websites that report missing people;

• venezuela te busca

• desaparecidos terremoto venezuela

as venezuela is my home country, all of this hits especially close to home. thankfully, my family and loved ones are safe since they were in cities not as severely affected. however, many others have not been as fortunate and are now facing the aftermath of these events.

years of political and economic instability have left many communities with limited resources and infrastructure, making it even more difficult to respond to emergencies like this. there are reports of people who remain missing, and many families are still waiting for news about their loved ones. rescue efforts have been made even more difficult by shortages of equipment, ambulances, and other emergency resources needed to respond to a disaster of this scale.

if you're able to, please consider sharing information, supporting verified relief efforts, or simply helping spread awareness about what is happening.

here’s a link where you can donate if you can

i’ll try to get more help resources to post here!

If you are from the US call your representatives to pressure into aiding Venezuela as much as possible. Please, my country needs all the help they can get.

There are many Venezuelan communities around the world coming together and organizing to help those back home. Find the nearest collecting center and please help with whatever you can! }

Venezuela was already a devastated country, and this just made everything a million times worse.

All these campaigns/fundraisers I'm sharing have been verified.

Hogar Bambi is a Venezuelan organization that helps children that have lost their families and they need help with the current crisis. Back in 1999 during the Vargas Tragedy too many children were saved and then kidnapped so organizations like this are extremely important.

If anyone in the US can help through Venmo or Zelle I would greatly appreciate it.
