We are raising funds for Full Arepas' founder Kelly Montano, who has dedicated her time, energy, and her own business space to give volunteers a place to gather and assemble humanitarian aid donations being sent out of Venezuela due to the earthquake that occurred on June 24th.
While doing all of this, Kelly has been navigating her own personal crisis — her mom and dad have not been found in the past few days, and we're still waiting on answers. Even in the middle of that emotional turmoil, she's kept showing up for our country.
We're hoping these funds can help support Kelly directly as she carries the weight of this — including covering the cost of machinery to search through the rubble for her parents. No one should have to fundraise for something like this, but we're asking anyway, because Kelly has given so much to others and now it's her turn to receive that same care. Thank you for anything you can give.
