Call for Help
This brief post aims to mobilize our community to gather as much money as possible to buy essentials (water, food, cleaning material) for the affected people in my state (Rio Grande do Sul). Read below.
Note: Payout from this post will fully go to my bank account and I'll personally buy everything that'll be transferred to the affected cities. I'm also powering down some Hive to cover the costs. Any liquid Hive or HDB is welcomed.
Background
Southern Brazil has been hit by a cyclone and several days of non-stop rain, causing a one-of-a-kind humanitarian disaster in more than 60 cities — some of whom I visited and wrote about in this blog before. This kind of event is not usual, thus most were unprepared and lost everything.
The flooding washed away houses, swamped streets in several cities, killing almost 40 people and leaving many homeless. The news have reported that people mostly need hygiene kits and cleaning material as loads of fresh water and food arrive to the sites. Supermarkets, banks, hospitals and general infrastructure are destroyed. For that reason they are relying on help from other cities. My municipality has a truck loading resources to transfer.
If you need more information I kindly suggest checking the news for "flooding in southern Brazil".
