Ender Inciarte of the Atlanta Braves is considered one of the best center fielders in baseball. He is very humble to admit it but inside his mind is something more important, his family in Venezuela. "Sometimes before the game I try not to look at my phone, but when they don't pick up after I call I am very worried during the game," said Inciarte in an interview recently with Fox Sports. Venezuela is currently suffering from famine and numerous protests over the recent years, and it does not look like it is getting better anytime soon.

In 2013, the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez died. When his successor Nicolas Maduro took over, he followed the majority of Chavez's policies, which led to high levels of violence, inflation and famine. Numerous citizens became angry, resorting to heavy protesting. A country that once appeared have a very bright future, is now inundated by hard times of a population rioting and an economy collapsing, consequences of poor decisions.

The first major protests started in April 2017 in the city of Caracas. This was known as the "mother of all marches", and the protests were against the current president Maduro with over 200,000 people participating. This is where the first people were beginning to die because of these protests as Maduro set up an expanded army of 500,000 loyal Venezuelans to combat the protesters. 33 people died following the numerous protests throughout the month and to this day there are more people dying throughout the country with the number of protests.

Previously anyone could have sent in food and medical supplies, but the government recently banned medical supplies because it has been going into the hands of terrorists, so currently, there is little that can be done except hope that the current state of the country will improve very soon.
