Goals & Objectives
We're raising $50,000 to keep supply flights and ground transport moving into Venezuela after the June 24, 2026 earthquake that devastated La Guaira. So far we've flown 4 relief flights carrying close to 500 items, tents, medical supplies, and first-necessity goods, and built a ground operation of trucks, airport permits, and drivers, all contributed in-kind. This next round of funding covers the next wave of flights and logistics: getting supplies through customs, onto trucks, and into the hands of displaced families and local partners like Cáritas Diócesis de La Guaira, who are distributing aid and medical care, including ophthalmological services, to those hit hardest. Every dollar goes directly to moving goods, not overhead: charter costs, ground transport, and customs fees for the next shipment. We've proven we can move fast when it matters. With your support, we keep the bridge open as long as Venezuela needs it.
Our Story
Who We Are
We're a family-driven relief initiative built around the Oliveira sisters' organization, working in partnership with FIAV to move urgent aid into Venezuela when official channels move too slowly. Our work is hands-on: we don't just fund relief, we coordinate the flights, trucks, and permits that get it to the ground.
What We're Responding To
On June 24, 2026, an earthquake struck La Guaira, Venezuela, displacing families and destroying basic infrastructure across the region. Within days, we activated a full logistics operation: 4 flights carrying close to 500 items, including tents, medical supplies, and first-necessity goods, plus a ground team handling trucks, airport permits, and drivers, all contributed in-kind rather than billed. We're now coordinating directly with local partners like Cáritas Diócesis de La Guaira to get donated medical care, like ophthalmological services, to the people who need it most.
Our Mission
Close the gap between when disaster hits and when help arrives, by building fast, reliable logistics for humanitarian aid in Venezuela.
Our Vision
To be the trusted bridge between donors abroad and the communities on the ground, so that when the next crisis hits, response time is measured in days, not weeks.
What We're Working Toward
Expanding our flight and ground network to reach more affected municipalities, formalizing partnerships with local relief organizations like FIAV and Cáritas, and building a standing logistics capability so we're ready before the next emergency, not scrambling after it.
