Summary
When devastating 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck Venezuela, Seattle’s community erupted in action—led by Isamary Herrera of Arepa Venezuelan Kitchen, who watched as neighbors flooded a warehouse with clothes, shoes, and essentials for victims. With over 1,400 dead and thousands displaced, Herrera personally waited hours for her parents’ safety, while friends lost homes and some remain missing. The tragedy hit close when a fellow Seattle Latino restaurateur lost her mother. Now, volunteers from across Washington are racing to find space and partners to ship supplies to Miami, urgently needing first aid and hygiene items as rescue efforts continue. For Herrera, this surge of support is more than aid—it’s a powerful, heartwarming reminder of humanity in action. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
