🇻🇪 **VENEZUELA NEEDS US** ❤️
First, we want to sincerely thank everyone who has reached out to check on us and our families. Your messages, prayers, and support have meant the world to us.
As many of you know, Venezuela has suffered one of the worst natural disasters in its modern history. Thousands of families have lost their homes, many are still waiting to hear from loved ones, and rescue teams continue working around the clock.
Although our own family members in Venezuela are safe, our hearts are with every family that has lost someone, every child without a home, and every person still waiting for help.
Today, we are asking our community to stand with Venezuela.
❤️ The best way to help is by making a monetary donation.
Financial donations provide immediate support where it is needed most—rescue efforts, emergency medical care, food, shelter, and rebuilding communities.

If you would also like to donate supplies, La Arepa is partnering with NJ Transportation to collect emergency relief items that will be shipped from Miami by cargo ship to Venezuela as quickly as possible.

Because of the urgency, we will only be collecting supplies on Saturday so they can be shipped from Miami by cargo ship as soon as possible.

Every dollar, every box, every share, and every prayer makes a difference.
