On June 24, two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela's central coast, devastating La Guaira — the hardest-hit state — and shaking Caracas. Families have lost homes, hospitals are overwhelmed, and basic supplies are running out. Freedom Hope Church is mobilizing funds for our brothers and sisters in Venezuela — no matter where in the U.S. you're giving from. Will you stand with them?
La Guaira sits just thirty minutes from Caracas, the gateway to Venezuela and home to families who, this week, lost everything in seconds. Rescue teams are still searching collapsed buildings. Hospitals lack supplies. Communication lines in some areas remain cut off.
Freedom Hope Church was planted to carry hope to the Hispanic community here in Oklahoma — and that hope doesn't stop at our border. As Venezuelan immigrants ourselves, this tragedy is personal. We are partnering with trusted local contacts in Venezuela to turn your gift into food, hygiene kits, and first-aid supplies for the families who need them most.
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. This week, our family in Venezuela needs us to carry theirs.
We ask for financial gifts or Walmart gift cards instead of physical items. No matter where you live in the U.S., you can give online right now — nothing to buy, pack, or drop off.
We don't ask donors to buy or ship items themselves. Every dollar or Walmart gift card is used to purchase supplies in these two categories, in bulk, at the best price.
Essential items for families who have lost access to clean water and basic sanitation.
Supplies for treating injuries and preventing infection while medical access is limited.
Why cash or a Walmart gift card? It lets us buy exactly what's needed, in bulk, and have it delivered straight to our packing office — no shopping, packing, or shipping required from you, wherever in the U.S. you live. Give online here →

A partner Baptist church in Caracas receives the shipment at their distribution center.

Your gift today — large or small — becomes clean water, bandages, and hope for a family in La Guaira.
