Two earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 killed more than 1,700, according to the country\u2019s government. Many remain missing and thousands were left homeless.<\/p>\n

Rosalys Garcia Nunez, an estimating project manager at Island Facility Services in Waianae, is from La Guaira. The city, along with Venezuela\u2019s capital of Caracas, was hit hardest by the earthquakes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m lucky that my family in the area are alive. We\u2019re lucky. But I can\u2019t say the same for a lot of friends I grew up with and their families. They\u2019re still missing or dead,\u201d Nunez said.<\/p>\n
