## Resource

Michael Capponi returns from Venezuela with a sobering update: half a million people are living in tents or on the streets, while his organization GEM has already helped 115,000. Since late June, they’ve deployed 16 cargo planes, 7 shipping containers, and 5 military landing craft, establishing a permanent warehouse in the hardest-hit zone, La Guiria. Amazon just donated $100K, and Capponi’s calling on others to join — they’ve amassed enough donated goods to fill five Costco warehouses, with volunteers loading FedEx trucks for the next shipment Sunday, all while coordinating across 37 states to keep aid flowing to those in desperate need.
