This is a call of help on my first Venezuelan project, as you know I'm returning on Jan 19, 2020, and I want to do something special this trip.

On my first trip we met Angie and Gerardo, Angie was due to give birth in November and now has her new baby girl, named "Gerianyeli Nohemi"

Before Angie gave birth I was talking with her and her family needs her to find a job, but there are no jobs in Santa Cruz, so her sister and her decided that they want to open a small retail store, since there is no place in the village for locals to get much needed supplies.

She asked me if I would be interested in investing in her business, she asked me if $200 USD would be too much to ask for an investment.

As we know $200 isn't enough money to start a business and I talked with her over the next week and discussed how a $200 business plan was destined to fail.

I said to her leave it with me, go have your baby and we'll talk afterwards and I will come up with a plan to help her develop a real business.

I would like to raise a $1,000 USD cash and on this next trip to Venezuela I want to make the 10 hour drive to Santa Cruz and talk to her face to face and deliver the investment of at least $1,000 for her new business.

I don't want PayPal or GofundMe donations, since I have to give the Gov almost 40% of in taxes and deductions and I can't write this off because it's basically a cash gift to a Venezuelan.

If you can afford even $5.00 USD, please put in a normal envelope and mail it to me, so I can take the cash to her.
