Venezuela Earthquake Relief
I'm making this single post to link several resources and posts so it'll be easier to get
Comprehensive post with ways you can help internationally
This is a link to a post that has several donation links and links to information sources regarding the current state of the disaster.
Dona Yummy
It's a relief fund set up by Yummy, a venezuelan food delivery and taxi app. Them and other allied companies are matching 20-25% of your donation; it accepts international cards, ACH, cryptocurrency and PIX for brazilians.
You can also download the food delivery app since it isn't region locked and order food, medicine and hygiene products from the available supermarkets and farmacies in the app and deliver it to the address of your choice.
Update June 29: Vicente Zavarce, founder of Yummy has posted a tweet stating how the funds are being managed. The tweet is in spanish.
Here is also proof of the funds being used for tents for the refugee camp at Parque del Este.
For more updates on how those funds are being used and other ways Yummy is helping outt during this disaster, check out Vicente Zarvace's twitter and Yummy's socials.
Dona Seguro
A webpage created by the venezuelan journalist Ernesto Fuenmayor and vouched by Estefanía León, comedian from a well known venezuelan podcast El Cuartico.
This webpage has several reputable and verified charities for international donations with proof that your donations are reaching the intended communities. This will help to ease your uncertainty of whether your donation is actually helping or not.
Why you shouldn't donate to the venezuelan Red Cross
As it is, the venezuelan red cross has been in the hands of the regime for several years and the donations made to them won't reach us at all.
It was seized by the regime on 2023 and has been under the control of the Rodríguez siblings since.
It is a very corrupt institution, if you want to donate do so at the other charities venezuelans have vouched for.
I am unaware of how other international Red Cross charities are operated, but it's preferable if you donate with the other charities that venezuelans have vouched for.
Donating to your local donation centers
You can also continue to donate non-perishable food, medicine, medical supplies, baby and kids products, tents, sleeping bags, blankets, clothes and personal hygiene products to your local venezuelan donation sites since those who lost everything will be in refugee camps for the forseeable future that will follow this disaster.
Other ways you can help
If you're an artist, a group of venezuelan artists are working on making coloring books for the children that survived the earthquake and are staying at the refugee sites. You can contact ch1naweee on twitter throughout the week if you're interested in this project.
