Hey, I just wanted to say, a US dollar goes a LONG way for South Americans, so if you can give even a few bucks to a Venezuelan in need right now it'll make a world of difference. I plan to once my bonus comes in.

We're just getting started and would absolutely accept more donations!
That was just our minimum to make sure we had capacity. Shipping is expensive but when you fill a container with $100k of free aid it creates a 20x impact. ;)

$5,000 raised to build capacity to help Venezuelans. Thank you so much to our generous matching donors and everyone who contributed.
Now it's time for me to stop posting and get to work researching sanctions. Will report back with results in about a week. 😎

If the regime change in Venezuela is successful, the US will likely declare it a "safe" country, revoke the refugee status of all these people, and set ICE loose to deport them.
