Venezuelan migrants living in the U.S. are rushing to send aid to family and friends stricken by devastating earthquakes in their home country. Local officials and advocates put out calls for donations Thursday in communities with large Venezuelan populations in states such as Florida and Texas. Oscar Torres moved to the U.S. from Venezuela in the 1990s and now lives in Doral, Florida, outside Miami. He said that soon after the earthquakes hit, groups on social media were organizing to gather donations of medicine, clothing and other essentials to send to Venezuela, where he has family.
