Lele Pons, 29, was born in Caracas and now lives in Miami. On June 29, NBC South Florida cameras found her in a place where no one expected to see her: a warehouse in Doral, wearing a yellow safety vest and a blue cap, packing boxes of food, water, and hygiene products 📦
There were no poses or smiles for the photos. Just work. All of this to help Venezuela, her home country, after the 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes that shook the central coast on June 24.
The organization Global Empowerment Mission, where she volunteers, has already sent more than 50 tons of aid on a flight from Miami. “They need our help, whether you’re Venezuelan or not”, Pons said, making it clear that this is just beginning 💛
