Is there anything we can do on an individual level to help the people of Venezuela? My heart hurts for all of you. It's a shame that so few people here in the US know the reality of the conditions you face.

I don't know what to say. One of the most urgent needs we have is medicines and not even international organizations have been able to bring them. Sending packages is always a risk because customs officers are infamous for their skills to make things disappear.
I know some people who have relatives abroad have managed to get things sent to them but I don't know what specific companies provide safer services.
I appreciate your concern though. I wish we could just talk about more elevated things. I know most people refuse/reject playing the victim, which is what we look like when we have to reiterate this litany of maladies. Hopefully that'll change soon.Thanks for your support, @mattifer.
Yes, I've heard that shipping goods in or out is pretty difficult right now. My fiance is in the freight business actually. We were asked to provide a quote for goods going to Venezuela not too long ago. We couldn't find anyone willing to go there for a decent rate. It's even expensive to ship things in - and even then there is no promise they will make it through customs.
I'll continue to do what I can to raise awareness - that might be the best way I can help at this point.
BlessingsThanks, @mattifer. That surely helps.
