The situation is devastating and sad", began the footballer in a message published on his Instagram account. "I'm filled with impotence seeing the damage and the affected people. The force of nature escapes all understanding, but it leaves us a message: we can lift ourselves up from the most difficult moments by ourselves. By giving each other a hand to continue. And by thanking life and the opportunity to breathe", he wrote. The captain of the team also focused on the responsibility that each person has in front of those who are going through one of the most difficult moments of their lives. "All we have left is to help those who need a small push to not give up", said the midfielder, who sent a message of support to the affected families. "From my part, I send all my solidarity and support to all those who feel desperation today. God is with you and will never abandon you", he added. James also had words of recognition for the rescue organizations, volunteers, and all the people working in the affected zones. "To all the living forces that are collaborating: simply thank you. Their unbreakable work is a blessing and fills us with pride. Tomorrow everything will be better", he wrote. The message ended with a phrase that summarized the captain's feeling for his country: "I love you, Colombia". Another of the great references of the Colombia national team, Radamel Falcao García, expressed his solidarity with the victims and their families. The forward assured that both he and his family have the victims present in their thoughts. "My heart, my prayers, and my family's prayers are with Colombia today", said Falcao. The forward also made it clear that he is willing to collaborate during the emergency and put his abilities at the service of those who need help. "I put myself at the disposal of my country to lift ourselves up together", added the historic goal-scorer of the team.
