Miami's Kaseya Center buzzed with energy as the Hispanic community and Venezuelan diaspora gathered for "Unidos por los nuestros," a massive cultural and social initiative. The concert aimed to raise emergency funds for those devastated by recent earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia.

Don Francisco kicked off the star-studded event, which saw performances from artists like Chayanne, Marc Anthony, Ricardo Montaner, Luis Fonsi, Feid, and Silvestre Dangond, among many others. The initiative, a collaboration between CMN, Maestro Cares Foundation, TelevisaUnivision, and PIMIENTO Entertainment, also functioned as an international telethon and a multi-platform fundraising campaign.

Beyond the music, the collective effort is channeling immediate aid to affected families. Funds will support critical programs such as mass feeding, primary medical care, medicine distribution, temporary shelters, child welfare, community mental health, and medium-term housing plans. The Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) officially announced a direct donation of $500,000, emphasizing their commitment to reconstruction and comprehensive support for children and families in both nations.

These resources are added to a collective call for reconstruction: housing, schools, and community spaces, in addition to comprehensive support for children and attention to the basic needs of families in both nations.
