Multiple donation drives in the Lehigh Valley are going on to help the victims of the earthquakes that hit Venezuela last month.

At this time, more than 3,500 hundred have been confirmed killed, more than 16,000 injured, and more than 30,000 people are reported to still be missing. For Rosseleen Abdelnour in Allentown, it hits close to home.

“My mom was one of the persons that, she lost everything in one of the buildings,” said Abdelnour.

And for two anxious days, Abdelnour thought she had lost her mother after checking a list of buildings that collapsed.

“When I saw the name of her building I was like, and I just text her, and she didn’t answer, and it was a mess, but when she text me back… we were glad that she was okay,” said Abdelnour.

Now Abdelnour has turned her business, International Multi-Services, into a donation drop off site, and the community has stepped up.

“We have around 100, 200 boxes, and also we have more back there,” said Abdelnour.

Her step-mother, Ariana Ramos, said people even write to the victims in Venezuela.

“There is a lot of messages for our families in La Guaira. We say thank you God for let us help everybody in Venezuela,” said Ramos.

Across town, the IronPigs are rolling out a donation drive of their own. Media Relations Manager Sam Jellinek said they’ve had a lot of Venezuelan players over the years.

“Those who have worn the Iron Pigs jersey at one point or another, if they have friends, family, whoever down in Venezuela, to be able to play our small role in helping them get through this,” said Jellinek.

He said they’re looking to fill their bins with toiletries, canned food, and clothing.

“All you’ve got to do is, if you’re coming to a game, throw it in the back seat, bring it with you. We’ll have these bins out at the gates. You can drop them off,” said Jellinek.

If you want to drop them off at International Multi-Services, Abdelnour said they’ll take them, even on the weekend.

“If they call us, we’re going to be here,” said Abdelnour.

The Iron Pigs told us they’ll be collecting donations through Sunday at home games, then they’re working with the United Way to ship it all down to Venezuela. Abdelnour’s donations are going through the Global Empowerment Mission.
