Vinotinto Footballers Launch Supply Drive for Earthquake Victims

Venezuelan national football team players José 'Brujo' Martínez and Eduard Bello are spearheading an initiative to collect essential supplies for those affected by recent earthquakes. The campaign, launched on June 26, urges solidarity with Venezuelan families impacted by the disaster.

Martínez shared a message on social media emphasizing that "in the most difficult moments is when solidarity shows its true value." The campaign has established two collection centers: one in San Jacinto, sector 9, Maracaibo, Zulia state, and another in Urbanización Santa Eduvigis, Sucre Municipality, Miranda state.

Donations sought include non-perishable food items, clothing in good condition, personal hygiene products, medicines, and first-aid supplies. Mattresses, blankets, and other vital necessities for the displaced are also being accepted.

For those wishing to contribute financially, mechanisms for monetary donations have been set up. Transfers can be made via Pago Móvil using Bancamiga bank with the ID number 24.722.840 and phone number +58414-0719770. Additionally, donations in foreign currency can be sent through Zelle to the email address [email protected].

This effort comes as authorities report a rising death toll from the earthquakes. National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez announced on June 26 that the number of fatalities had reached 920, with at least 2,980 people injured. The United Nations estimates that over 50,000 people remain missing.
