FLOODINGS IN RIO GRANDE DO SUL (BRAZIL)
Tax deductible
My name is Artur, I was born and raised in Brazil, but I currently live in the United States. I am starting this fundraiser with the goal to help the people in need of help due to the flooding in the south of Brazil.
Hundreds of towns in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul are under water as a result of heavy rains that caused extensive flooding. This week's forecasted strong rains are expected to aggravate the situation in the area. Local officials stated that the water level of the river hit a record high of 17.4 feet. About 155,000 people are homeless, according to the state's Civil Defense service. More than 1.4 million people have been affected overall by the floods, which additionally impacted water and electrical supplies, according to Civil Defense.
This is an initiative to gather funds and help the victims FINANCIALLY, any amount is welcomed, even if it is just a single dollar. All funds gathered will be directly sent to BrazilFoundation (fundraiser is setup to have all the funds DIRECTLY from GoFundMe sent to the non-profit, not through me or my bank account. BrazilFoundation is a non-profit that mobilizes resources for ideas and actions that transform Brazil for the past 24 years.
Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause and prayers for the people in Rio Grande do Sul ❤️
