Argentine Lucas Trejo, a player for Marítimo — in Venezuela’s second division — stated that his family is missing after the country was hit by an earthquake on Wednesday night (24).
Trejo said the building where he lived ended up collapsing. He asked family members for prayers and help in sharing the message of help. His wife, Yani Maranella, and the couple’s children, Aarón Trejo Maranella and Ainhoa Trejo Maranella, were reportedly missing.
Our building in Praia Grande collapsed, I don’t know anything about my family, please pray for them and spread this message to someone who may have seen them. I want to believe they weren’t there. Pray for my family, please.
