VAM in the Media
Boston 25 News covered the community response in Massachusetts following the earthquakes that struck Venezuela, causing loss of life, injuries, and widespread destruction.
The story includes testimony from Juan Salcedo, a volunteer connected to The Venezuelan Association of Mass., who describes the personal toll the disaster has taken on his family. It also highlights the organization’s volunteer efforts to raise funds and help connect families with resources in the aftermath of the emergency.
The report further notes a partnership with The Boston Foundation through the Massachusetts United for Venezuela fund, described as an initiative designed to bring together trusted community organizations, donors, businesses, and Massachusetts residents to support both immediate humanitarian needs and Venezuela’s longer-term recovery.
For the VAMASS community, this coverage matters because it shows how the Venezuelan diaspora can mobilize support, build connections with local institutions, and help sustain relief efforts during a humanitarian crisis. It also underscores the importance of trusted community networks in directing aid to people and communities facing urgent need.
