It’s been several months since I last wrote here, and I think what I’m about to say in this post might sound bad to some users because I’ve been away for quite a while, but I’m using every tool at my disposal to help my country, “Venezuela,” and I firmly believe that these tools bring us closer together—not only technologically, but also on a human level.

But, so you can understand the context of all this, I'll break it down below:


Why am I asking for help?Why am I asking for help?

On June 24, 2026, my country, Venezuela, was struck by what is known as a "double earthquake"—the first with a magnitude of 7.2 and the second with a magnitude of 7.5, occurring 7 seconds apart and lasting approximately 39 seconds. This terrible tragedy has resulted in the following figures, which are current as of the time of writing this post, according to official sources:

  • 3,899 deaths
  • 16,740 injured
  • 17,907 victims (people who lost everything: their homes, clothes, belongings, and even family members)

In addition to this, the Capital District in Caracas and La Guaira—the latter being the hardest hit—have suffered the following damage: to buildings:

  • Between 190 and 192 buildings collapsed completely.
  • Between 585 and 920 structures with severe damage
  • Although, according to satellite analysis, approximately 434 buildings were destroyed by the earthquakes.

As a result of all this, thousands of families have lost loved ones; children have been left orphaned, without their parents, and, conversely, parents have lost their children; and although, THANK GOD, my family and I were able to escape unharmed, and our home—which is also a building—doesn’t appear to have suffered serious damage, thousands of people weren’t so lucky, and although I’ve been helping on the ground, especially in “La Guaira,” which has been the hardest hit of all, and although international aid is arriving and hundreds of volunteers have helped, after almost two weeks the aid has dwindled, and these people need us. With my heart in my hand, it pains me deeply to see my own people suffering—all the more so because it could have been me in their place.

I don’t want to get into political issues; most people around the world are aware of Venezuela’s situation in that regard, and a great deal of aid from other countries has been diverted by people linked to the “government.” I, along with a group of volunteers, have been delivering whatever aid we can directly to those in need, rather than dropping it off at collection centers where most of it goes to waste, and I myself struggle every day to put bread and food on my family’s table because inflation is devouring our local currency, the “bolívar,” but I don’t understand how there are human beings capable of taking advantage of others when they’re going through a situation that none of us would ever want to experience.

In any case, since I also have to work to support my family, the funds I had available have run out, but I want to continue helping and supporting as many people as I can, because the truth is that it doesn’t matter if they’re strangers—I feel the pain these people have gone through in my heart, and as long as I can and have the strength to help, I will.


How could you help me help a lot of people?How could you help me help a lot of people?

While researching ways to raise funds through "cryptocurrency" platforms, I came across one that I really liked; it's simple, and fortunately, I submitted my "project" and it was approved, so I can now raise funds. This platform is "Geyser.fund," and you can view the project and the campaign at the link below:

https://geyser.fund/project/venezuelaneedsourhelpwithsupplies?hero=lenonmc21dinero

Clicking there will take you to the project, and the funds will be used for the following:

  • Surgical supplies and bandages: sterile gauze, elastic bandages, dressings, cotton, syringes, and surgical gloves.
  • Essential medications: pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, antivirals, and saline solutions for intravenous hydration.
  • Treatments and diagnostic tools for chronic diseases: medications for high blood pressure and diabetes, thermometers, and blood pressure monitors.
  • Hygiene and protection: face masks, alcohol, hand sanitizer, diapers, and feminine hygiene products.
  • Add as much water as you can.
  • Non-perishable food, prepared meals, arepas stuffed with ham and cheese, bread rolls stuffed with ham and cheese, complete lunches.

How can you follow the campaign and see how the funds will be used?How can you follow the campaign and see how the funds will be used?

Through the "Geyser" platform's website and my Twitter X account—which is this one: https://x.com/leninmiguel21—you'll be able to see every purchase I make with the funds, where you'll find a breakdown of the following:

  • Photo of the supplies purchased
  • Purchase Invoice
  • Amount of funds used, calculated at the official rates here in Venezuela using the "Yadio.io" platform

I know that nobody knows me. And I have no right to ask anyone for anything, but I have no other options if I want to keep helping. Having seen the situation on the ground firsthand, I know these people need a lot of help, and given the current situation in my country, we’re all struggling financially just to get by.

Even so, I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to anyone who shares this post so that many people can see it. It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford to donate—sharing is a huge help. Nor does it matter how many ZAPS you donate; even if it’s just cents or a very small amount, it will help a child eat or help someone treat their wounds with alcohol or whatever else can be bought with it.

So, THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE for all the support you can give me. Now, I’ll share some photos and a couple of videos showing what the site looks like and what life is like there:
