A pro soccer player faces unimaginable heartbreak after losing his family in Venezuela
Professional soccer player Lucas Trejo is facing an unimaginable tragedy after his wife, Yianina Marinella, and their two children, Aon and Anoa, were killed in the devastating twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela. The tragedy was part of a massive natural disaster on June 24th, where back-to-back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes claimed more than 1,400 lives.
Trejo was away at a training camp in Caracas when the disaster hit, prompting him to rush home to Laguara, the hardest-hit state. Upon arrival, his brother-in-law revealed that Trejo found their apartment building completely destroyed, spending grueling hours personally clearing away debris. His soccer club, CS Maritimo de La Guaira, publicly expressed their profound grief, offering heartfelt prayers and support for their teammate as he navigates this profound and sudden heartbreak.
