Against the backdrop of Venezuela’s worsening economic crisis, Medical Mission Sister Maigualida Riera continues her role of helping to run a Solidarity Kitchen in Barquisimeto. With inflation now above 1,000 %, her kitchen spends in one month what was previously spent in a year for food. Sister Maigualida shares, “We remain hopeful that one day this crisis will finish. Meanwhile we want to continue offering a space, a hand, a word, and we want to continue saving lives.”
