When the earthquake hit La Guaira, I was thousands of miles away.
I grew up there. I know those streets, that sea, those people. And suddenly I was on the other side of a screen, feeling like there was nothing I could do.
That feeling is where most people stop.
My community didn't. They gave, shared, wrote to me, asked how to help. Some gave what they had. Some gave what they could. Both mattered.
🇻🇪 Together, we helped raise $7 million for Venezuela through GoFundMe.
And it showed up at every scale.
🏫 A small special-needs school in La Guaira passed its $12,000 goal in about 24 hours.
This is what I've come away with from this experience, and it applies beyond disaster relief:
👉 Distance doesn't take away your right to help. It just asks you to do it together.
🤝 And "together" only works when there's trust.
People gave because they knew every dollar would reach the ground. That's why we partnered with GEM (Global Empowerment Mission) and the We Love Foundation on the ground, and why I verified the work in person. Thank you for treating every dollar as if it were your own.
📍 This week my face appeared in Times Square. But that screen doesn't belong to me. It belongs to every person who said "me too."
La Guaira is still rebuilding, and we still need so much more help.
To Tim Cadogan and the entire team at @gofundme: thank you for being a platform we can trust to help others, and for celebrating something we need more of in the world. 🧡
Kindness is refusing to look away.
Kindness is infinite.
Kindness is contagious. ✨

We’re fighting for a world where no one has to depend on charity to survive. A world where everyone has affordable healthcare, housing, fair wages, and paid time off to care for themselves and their families. And while we continue to organize for a better world, we’re grateful for the kindness and generosity that have helped so many of us survive the injustices we’re living now.

Our Week 9️⃣ NFLPA #CommunityMVP @ckuntz24 gave back to his home state and team city in a big way, leading two community events in one week.
The @Steelers long snapper donated $10,000 to Pittsburgh Morrow school to help open a new resource room, which will provide free shoes, uniforms, winter jackets, hygiene products, and food for more than 200 students and 70 economically disadvantaged families each month. That same week, his Kuntz 4 Ki6s Foundation hosted its first Halloween Bash, welcoming 80 local kids for trick-or-treating, pumpkin decorating, food, and a chance to pick out a free costume.
