My name is Leticia Bergamo , I was born and raised in Brazil, in a state called Rio Grande do Sul.
Unfortunately, over the past weeks my state has been facing torrential rain that caused our rivers to overflow, and overrun many of our towns. Bridges are falling, dams are collapsing, people are stuck with infants and pets on the roof of their houses waiting for a boat or a helicopter that never comes, because we do not have enough resources for everyone. It is a natural disaster like we have never seen before.
I have close friends in shelters, people I know that are missing or presumed dead, and the rain is not predicted to stop. The town I used to live before moving to the US was hit hard, so I am asking for your contribution so I can help those families and friends.
This fundraiser is personally managed by me, and I guarantee that every contribution will be directed to reputable organizations or directly to families in need.
I have friends that are safe and volunteering in shelters and finding families that were directly affected and need help, using the funds I sent them to buy supplies such as mattresses, blankets, clothes, toothbrushes, shampoo, shoes, baby supplies like formula, diapers, baby clothes.
I have been sending the money back home using REMITLY for the transfers and I have all transactions saved.
Your donation, even as small as $5, which translates to approximately R$25 reais, can make a significant impact. Please, join me in saving lives, rescuing people, and rebuilding what countless loved ones have lost. Every contribution counts towards making a difference.
