Norellys Marrero died in the June 24 earthquake in La Guaira, along with her other daughter and son-in-law, while her daughter Liz in Los Angeles learned of the tragedy via video call.
Liz identified her sister's body through photos sent by rescuers and organized a GoFundMe campaign, raising over $70,000 through dance workshops to support her surviving nephews.
Crismar Chacín, a Venezuelan migrant in Los Angeles, lost her brother Cristian in the earthquake; she was on a call with her mother when his body was identified by a tattoo.
Rescue efforts in La Guaira were initially carried out by neighbors using bare hands, with official rescuers arriving later, including Mexican 'topos' (rescue workers).
