A veces las mejores decisiones dejan un tono agridulce al corazón.

TLDR: Please listen to your Venezuelan friends. If you don’t have Venezuelan friends, seek out VERIFIED, NON-REGIME AFILLIATED, VENEZUELAN sources, please. Love y'all.
Also, please remember nuance is a thing. And just because something is a certain way in the US it doesn't mean it's the same way in the rest of the world. And that as shitty as it is, no, the US isn't a dictatorship (subject to change, hopefully won't). Y'all don't know what it's like to live through the bullshit we've had to face. So don't try speaking over us as if we didn't know the subject at hand.
Some english/spanglish speaking venezuelan people informing live about what's happening, whose sources I trust, in case you care and actually want to inform yourself (thank you!): 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 // heavily recommend Alex's videos.
ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKES IN VENEZUELA
If you want to donate money: please look here for a list of reliable orgs.
If you'll be donating physical items, such as food cans, medicines, etc: Write on them "Fuerza Venezuela" or something else with permanent marker to identify them as donations. Govt people have already tried to steal and resell donations before, so this way it's less likely to happen, and more likely to actually end up in the hands of folks in need.
We appreciate your help. The earthquakes may be over, but the consequences have just started. This will be a long journey...
