“I threw all those clothes away”, he said bluntly. A young Venezuelan man filmed himself while sorting the donations arriving after the earthquake that shook the country’s coast, and what he found made him explode in front of the camera.
Stale Arab bread, stained clothes, rags that even he himself wouldn’t wear. “I don’t care if I get canceled”, he warned before asking for something that seems obvious: that donations meet a minimum standard of quality. He wasn’t asking for luxuries, he was asking for dignity for those who had already lost everything.
The video went viral within hours because it struck a sensitive nerve: what’s the point of donating if what is given is no longer good for anything? 🇻🇪
