If you know me, you know how much Venezuela means to me. Although I have built my life in the United States, my heart has never left my home country. Watching the devastation from the back-to-back 7.1 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes near Caracas has been unbearable, and I kept asking myself, "What can I do?" The answer was to bring together the amazing community of people I am fortunate to know and take action together.

I am partnering with Global Empowerment Mission and their long-term ally I Love Venezuela as they deploy immediately to assess building collapses and urgent community needs. GEM has been a first responder in crises around the world and has deep experience supporting Venezuelan communities since 2019, so every dollar will help a team that moves quickly and works efficiently with trusted local partners.

This is about more than emergency supplies. It is about giving families the critical support they need right now and helping communities begin the path toward recovery. Your donation will go toward on-the-ground recon, emergency response, and essential aid for people who have lost homes, belongings, and stability.

Please join me in standing with the people of Venezuela. Even a small gift can make an immediate difference when trusted responders are already in the field. Donate, share this campaign, and help us bring relief and hope to families who need it most.
