Earthquake Relief For Venezuelan Families

Update from Lulla's Humanitarian Relief Initiative

First, from the bottom of our hearts—thank you.

Because of your generosity, this mission continues to move forward every single day. Along with this update, we will continue sharing photos, receipts, and documentation so you can see exactly how your support is being used and the impact it is making.

Meeting with the Mayor

This week we had the opportunity to briefly meet with the Mayor of New York City and share the humanitarian operation that our volunteers have built from the ground up.

We also asked for the City's help in finding ways to move the more than 160 pallets of humanitarian aid that are ready to be shipped to Venezuela. We remain hopeful that support will come, but today this mission continues to be powered by ordinary people helping ordinary people.

Right now, it is people helping the people of Venezuela.

Building Humanitarian Partnerships

We have also begun conversations with GEM and World Vision. They have expressed appreciation for the organized humanitarian operation our volunteers have built and for our commitment to safely receive, sort, store, and prepare aid until it is requested where it is needed most.

Our goal is to continue building partnerships that ensure every shipment is coordinated responsibly and reaches the communities that need it most.

Getting Help There Faster

While we continue preparing large shipments, we have also used donated funds to send emergency financial assistance through Zelle and other secure transfers to trusted contacts on the ground. These funds are helping purchase food, medicine, fuel, transportation, and other urgent necessities while larger shipments continue moving through the logistics process.

How Your Donations Are Helping

Every dollar donated is being put to work to keep this humanitarian operation moving.

Your support has helped us:

• Keep our U-Haul trucks parked outside our collection center so we can continue receiving and storing donations.

• Cover part of the transportation and logistics costs with Los Angeles Carga.

• Send emergency financial assistance directly to trusted responders in Venezuela.

• Provide meals and water for the hundreds of volunteers who continue working long days to sort, organize, and prepare humanitarian aid.

• Rent garbage disposal services to remove the enormous amount of cardboard, plastic wrap, broken pallets, and packing materials generated by this operation, allowing us to keep the warehouse safe, organized, and efficient.

• Purchase operational supplies needed to organize, sort, and prepare humanitarian aid.

Every expense is made with one purpose: getting as much aid as possible to the people who need it.

The Work Is Far From Finished

Today, we still have more than 160 pallets of humanitarian aid waiting to be shipped to Venezuela.

Every pallet represents hope.

Every box represents a family.

Every donation represents someone who refused to look away.

Please Don't Let the World Forget Venezuela

As headlines begin to disappear, the suffering has not.

Families are still searching for stability. Communities are still rebuilding. Recovery will take months—likely years—and they still need us.

Please continue talking about Venezuela. Share this fundraiser. Tell your friends and family. Help us make sure the world does not forget what Venezuela is going through.

We are not stopping. Neither should the world.
