Dear Tampa Bay Area Families,
This is Robert from Robert’s Auto Shop, your local neighborhood mechanic in Valrico.
As many of you know, Venezuela—particularly the areas around Caracas and La Guaira—has recently been affected by a devastating earthquake. Families have lost loved ones, many people have been displaced from their homes, and countless children are in urgent need of assistance.
Robert’s Auto Shop has partnered with community organizations throughout the Tampa Bay and Miami areas to collect and send much-needed supplies to relief and recovery centers serving those affected.
We are accepting donations at our shop (3636 Erindale Dr. Suite 105 Valrico, FL 33596) and would greatly appreciate any support from our community.
Items currently needed include:
Baby formula and baby supplies
Diapers
Canned food and non-perishable dry goods
Powdered milk
Hygiene products
First aid supplies
Blankets
Tents
Feminine hygiene products
Children’s toys
Other essential items that may help families during this difficult time
If appropriate for the item, we also welcome clean, gently used donations that are neatly packed.
Every donation, no matter the size, will help bring relief to families working to rebuild their lives.
Thank you for your generosity and for supporting those in need. We wish you and your family a safe and happy Independence Day.
Sincerely,
The Robert’s Auto Shop Team
