Wow, what a read. I knew that things in Venezuela weren't good based on what I read from news outlets and from your personal stories, but I was at least comforted that you were in a position of power/wealth that allowed you to avoid the danger that the majority of citizens faced. Now I know that isn't the case anymore, I pray for you. I'm sorry to hear about what you and your countrymen are enduring, and I hope that the revolution ends in favor of the people.

Stay strong, take care of your family and friends, and never give up hope. You will always be in my heart, ale!
