On June 24th, devastating back-to-back earthquakes measuring 7.5 and 7.2 struck Venezuela. This is the strongest seismic event the country has experienced in more than a century. Entire buildings have been reduced to rubble, roads have collapsed, and communities have been left in ruins. At least 188 lives have been lost, and tens of thousands of people are still missing or displaced. In the midst of this tragedy, families urgently need shelter, clean water, food, and medical care.
Please pray and consider supporting the people of Venezuela by making a gift to Catholic Relief Services (CRS). Working through Caritas Venezuela and the local Church, CRS is already on the ground, delivering critical emergency aid and accompanying those affected as they begin the long journey of recovery. Your support can bring hope and relief to our brothers and sisters in Venezuela during this time.
Your compassion and generosity are deeply appreciated.
