Update: Airan and Luke report having weight loss of around 30lbs, and we are hopeful about getting them care packages soon.

It is difficult to know how the recent US and Venezuela elections will affect our efforts to get these guys home, but we are hopeful on both fronts.

Our major focus right now is getting care packages of food and basic hygiene items to El Helicoide where they are being held (pictured). The last we were able to hear from Luke, he was 30 pounds underweight with Airan in similar health.

We were recently told that Airan and Luke’s attorney would have access to them for the first time, and that they would be able to receive care packages.

However, since getting this news their attorney was denied access again. We are hoping this was just a misunderstanding of some kind and not a change to what seemed like slow but steady progress in assuring Airan and Luke’s health and humane treatment.

I hope we have more news to share soon.

The work we are doing is not possible without support of friends, family, and the many folks that know the character of these men and would never let them be forgotten.

You can help by contributing to the GoFundMe, or donating directly.

Thank you!
