Maduro has been the worst plague that has ever fallen here. Unfortunately the situation in my country Venezuela, is even worse than many believe or think, with a monthly minimum wage that is not enough for a person to eat a whole day, if you get sick is more likely to die than you can heal, because the high cost of medicines is unattainable. I have seen families disintegrated because they have all had to go around the world trying their luck, because there are so many who are outside that the chances of even finding a job have been too reduced.
I myself have been affected and had to resort to natural medicine because I had to make the decision between buying food for my son or medicine for me, is really strong, I hope this beautiful act of the fruits needed to help our partner @hlezama. God bless you always!

@fmbs25,
Arrgh. Helping one person still leaves millions of others destitute.
Months ago, I concocted an idea to try to help many more Venezuelans here on Steemit. But with STEEM at $0.18 ... it's simply not practical.
Watching Venezuela from the outside is an exercise in frustration. With all the diplomatic pressure and economic sanctions, one would have thought Maduro would have been forced from power by now. Your country sits atop the world's largest reserve of petroleum and ought to be extremely wealthy. Alas, political ideologues and rampant corruption have managed to destroy everything.
I wish I had a solution.

It's darkest before the dawn. Sooner or later, the outside pressure will force him from power and there will be MASSIVE international aid.
Hang in there.
