Chicago Community Steps Up for Venezuela

Venezuela’s devastating double earthquake disaster — a 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude hit — has left over 1,400 dead and tens of thousands missing. In Chicago, the Venezuelan community is rallying, turning restaurants like Quericozon Venezuela into bustling donation centers, flooding them with medicine, hygiene kits, and essentials — so much so they’ve stopped accepting clothes. Supplies are being shipped via Miami to reach those in need, as Venezuela’s own government falls short. Right now, they’re urgently asking for children’s medicine, vitamins, and ibuprofen. If you’re in the Chicago area, drop off donations at either Quericozon location in Belmont Cragin or Cicero. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
