Emergency Initiative
Relief for Venezuelan Earthquake Victims
Emergency Fundraiser · June 2026
On June 24, 2026, two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela, and we responded immediately.
Measuring 7.2 and 7.5 in magnitude, the earthquakes left thousands of families without food, clean water, medical care, or shelter. The Consuelo Foundation mobilized within days, coordinating local volunteers and shipping critical supplies directly to those in need.
Every dollar donated goes directly to families still recovering. Help us continue this mission.
