My friend Jenny's uncle (who lives in Venezuela) was kidnapped two days ago. The kidnappers (who are thought to be Colombian) requested a ridiculous sum of money ($250K), and if they don't get it they will kill him.
This is apparently all too common in South America...it's not the first time her family was affected, but fortunately another uncle was returned unharmed after the demands were met. Another friend of the family was not so lucky.
Please send your positive thoughts/prayers/energies to help him return safely to his family.
