I left my wife, my children, and my country over three weeks ago, and their reaction shocked me 🙏🏼

Communication is a vital component of disaster response and the relief efforts. Through StarLink, MEDIC Corps teams are been restoring connectivity in communities and clinics that were affected by the earthquakes in Veneuzula. @Starlink

Critical relief and humanitarian aid continues to reach isolated communities across Venezuela 🌎 🤝 🇻🇪

Through ongoing hospital and remote community operations, teams are actively receiving, sorting, and facilitating delivery of critically essential supplies directly to families in the hardest-hit and cut-off areas affected by the earthquakes.

Over 100,000 pounds of critical aid (clean water, food, and life-saving medical supplies) have now reached those who needed it most.

Your support for the ongoing mission makes the difference.

In the wake of Venezuela’s devastating earthquakes, instant communication isn’t just helpful. It’s LIFE-SAVING.

@Starlink’s humanitarian cooperation with @mediccorps is giving our teams the ability to instantly restore vital communications for rescue and aid operations across the hardest-hit regions.

This unlocks seamless coordination with our crews and collaborative aid partners, enabling precision sling-load deliveries and helicopter supply drops directly to cut-off and unreached communities.

No signal = no aid. Reliable comms = hope delivered!

We are grateful for every team member and the ongoing coordination making these relief missions possible. 🌎

I’ve left my family and the United States for the past week, helping to facilitate critical aid to unreached communities in Venezuela, where twin 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes have left more than 68,000 people missing and over 3,500 confirmed dead.

Through ongoing coordination with operational teams, over 100,000lbs of LIFE-SAVING aid via more than 50 sling load drops has been facilitated for delivery and distribution. This includes clean drinking water, food, tents, bedding, toys for the children, and critically requested supplies. The deliveries continue while we also support the emergency medical system, restore critical communications via StarLink, conduct situational and medical assessments, and work to reestablish clean water systems.

More than 6 million people have been affected, with countless families still cut off from essential services. This is the very first relief many of these isolated communities have received since the disaster. We are reaching previously inaccessible areas across the hardest-hit coastal regions of La Guaira, including Puerto Cruz, Puerto Maya, and surrounding communities.

This is an ONGOING relief effort, and your prayers and support are sincerely requested.

This collaborative relief effort could not be facilitated without the ongoing support of many teams on the ground, in the air, and on the sea.

Pain that leads you closer to God is worth far more than happiness that pulls you away from Him.

PRAY for Venezuela and all those in critical danger after the horrific earthquakes there today 🙏🏼

I got to take Teddy & Will to our favorite cowboy town in California 🏜️ 🌵 🤠

If you recognize some of the scenery, it’s probably because you’ve watched “Cowboy Christmas” because we shot the Official Video here 📺
