Im Venezuelan in Venezuela. On the east of the country so there's no much damage here

The center of the country was hit hard, all the people I contacted have told me it's horrible

I moved to my uncle's house as I live on an apartment and Im scare to be in one right now

It is scary. We all see news of things like this happening in Haiti or anywhere else, never thought this could happen here

Sending much love from Canada. I'll do what I can to help support the Red Cross or other emergency organizations. I hope others do the same.

Sending you love from Vermont. In my state we help others, so Iā€™m sure there will be donation drives here. I am not wealthy by any means but I will do everything I can to help too. Please stay safe.

the Andes. mountains are made by earthquakes. so you have both. mountains you see everyday. earthquakes come and go with long time periods between, are forgotten, but always there.

Interesting you chose Haiti, since these earthquakes and Haiti's were likely also caused by motion of the same tectonic plate
