Several businesses in the Bay Area are coming together to collect relief supplies for Venezuela following the deadly twin earthquakes that struck the nation. This includes a Venezuelan food truck in San Jose.<\/p>\n
The death toll in Venezuela is climbing as the desperate search for survivors continues following two major earthquakes. Authorities confirmed 1450 have died and nearly 69,000 are still missing.<\/p>\n
Several Bay area businesses came together to collect relief supplies, including Aquenono in San Jose. On Sunday, the husband and wife owners of the food truck business have been collecting everything, from gloves to food, to walkers and dog food.<\/p>\n
They say many of their clients have loved ones in Venezuela.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey can\u2019t get in contact with family. There\u2019s no news about their whereabouts of their family member and we hear many more stories like that from clients probably because their loved ones still have not been identified yet,\u201d said Aquenono co-owner Melanie Portilla.<\/p>\n
Portilla says her brother-in-law lives in Venezuela and is grappling with aftershocks and power outages. So far, about 45 people have dropped off relief supplies, which will be brought to Oakland and later flown to Venezuela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several businesses in the Bay Area are coming together to collect relief supplies for Venezuela following the deadly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[88,90,89,9298],"class_list":["post-378904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-venezuela"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
