i'm sure most of you must've heard about the earthquakes in venezuela yesterday (june 24th). the magnitudes were 7.2 and 7.5 respectively; while felt throughout the country the most affected zones have been la guaira and caracas, with some places being reduced to dust and the number of injures and casualties climbing up. this is not a country that's prepared to deal with any, let alone this, kind of emergency, so any help that could be extended to us would be really appreciated.
i haven't seen many options for people outside to donate. easiest way is this fundraiser from the I Love Venezuela Foundation
Venezuela needs our help now.
After a devastating earthquā¦ I Love Venezuela Foundation needs your support for Emergency Relief for Venez
you can also donate directly through zelle and binance to Organizacion Solo con Fe in barquisimeto, but !!! make sure to label it "donacion" so it can be correctly identified. everything will be used for relief in the affected zones.
lastly, Passagio is a Miami-based courier that's put a special fare of $4/lb for aid to be sent to venezuela. no profits will be made from this, that's strictly transportation costs. they're accepting: medicine, non-perishable food, hygiene products, clothing, essential supplies.
you can donate at your own discretion and screen any and all of these as you wish, obviously. any help and signal boosting is extremely appreciated, and if i find other means for help to be sent directly i'll add them.
I thank everyone who came across my story, everyone who read my words, shared them, or tried to help me. Your presence and concern meant so much to me, even though I wasn't able to raise the funds I hoped for. I'm from Gaza, and I lost my leg in the war. All I ever dreamed of was a chance to get a prosthetic leg so I could walk and live again. I wrote hoping to find someone to help me, but it seems the path is harder than I expected. Despite that, I'm grateful to everyone who stopped to see my pain. I may feel some despair today, but I still believe that goodness exists in this world. Thank you to every kind heart that passed by here.

Help Ahmed Nasr Walk Again: A Urgent Call for Support
My name is Ahmed Nasr, a young manā¦ Ahmed Nasr needs your support for Support me so I
Today, the Ministry of Health contacted me and asked me to prepare to travel to Egypt to receive the necessary treatment for a prosthetic limb. I felt both happy and sad at the same time. I don't have a passport and I can't afford to travel because I need $700 to cover the costs of the treatment, and I don't have the money. Please help me, even with a little.
I write these words with a broken heartā¦ You may come across this post in a few moments, but for my children, every day that passes without food or basic necessities becomes heavier than the last.
My baby is malnourished, and the rash is worsening with the heat, poor hygiene, and lack of resources. As a mother, the hardest thing for me is seeing my children suffer and not being able to provide for their needs.
Food, milk, and basic necessities have become unaffordable due to high prices and limited resources.
I live in genuine terror every night, fearing I will wake up to a further decline in my children's health or some unbearable tragedy. We no longer need mere sympathy; we need a helping hand to save my children from hunger and disease and give them a chance at life.
I write to you with a heart breaking, like a mother helpless in the face of her family's suffering every moment. My husband, our only support, is now lying in a critical, life-threatening condition, and every second that passes without treatment is a real danger that we may lose him to.
But the pain does not stop thereā¦ My little children are fading before my eyes. Severe malnutrition has exhausted their fragile bodies, and painful skin rashes cover their skin because of hunger, lack of medicine, and the harsh conditions we endure day after day. They no longer even have the strength to cry.
I am not asking for the impossible; I am only asking for a chance for my family to live. Please, do not leave us alone in this hell. Share our story, donate, or help in any way you canā¦ your support may be the reason my husband and children survive before it is too late.
Itās difficult to keep asking for help, but itās even harder to stay silent.
Weāve been trying to rebuild our lives step by step after losing so much š š
Nothing is easy anymore, and even the simplest things feel heavy when youāre carrying this much uncertainty.
Iām trying to continue my education while also being there for my family, but some days it feels like everything is slipping out of my hands.
This campaign is not just support ā itās our way forward.
Without it, we feel stuck, unable to move toward something better.
If youāre reading this, please donāt overlook our story.
Even the smallest support can help us take one more step toward stability šš¤

Hello please donate to Mo'men Gherbawi if you can.
Campaign Information:
Mo'men Gherbawi is a palestinian man from Gaza.
He dreamed of a bright future after high school, but instead of celebrating his success, he found himself running from bombs and destruction, just trying to survive.
His Life Changed in an Instant!
Their home was destroyed in the bombing, leaving them with nowhere to return to.
His older brother lost his job after the occupation wiped out the area where he worked.
His school and his sisterās university turned into shelters for displaced families, leaving no classrooms for students.
They spent everything they had just to escape and make it to Egypt after six months of horror.
How Did They Survive?
They fled multiple times under bombs and gunfire, carrying what little they had in plastic bags, running through rubble and smoke, never knowing if they'd survive.
Their last stop was Rafah, which is now under siege, where they faced hunger, illness, and fear until they finally made it out.
His father suffers from severe back problems, making him unable to work, and his medical treatment is extremely expensive.
Despite Everything, Mo'men Still Has a Dream!
He wants to go to university and build a future, to help his family get back on their feet. But today, they have no home, no income, and no way to start over.
Why They Need Your Help:
"Iām managing this fundraiser on behalf of my family.
Since GoFundMe doesnāt support the country we currently reside in, the donations are being received through a trusted family friend in the UK, Hassan Aloul. " - Campaign Organiser
The organsier is helping the family by withdrawing the funds into their bank account and coordinating them directly to distribute the funds for urgent needs such as rent, medical treatment, and education expenses.
All donations will be used to:
Rent a home in Egypt
Cover basic living expenses like food, clothing, and medicine
Pay for Mo'mens fatherās urgent medical treatment
Support his university education so he can build a better future
They are committed to using every donation responsibly and transparently.
You Can Be the Reason Their Life Changes!
Every pound (Ā£) can be a new beginning for us ā helping with rent, fatherās treatment, and mo'mens education.
"Donāt leave us aloneādonate or share my story.
Even the smallest contribution can make a huge difference.
Thank you to everyone who helps. You are my hope for a better tomorrow!" - Mo'men Gherbawi
