Southern Brazil Humanitarian Campaign

Torrential rains have caused one of Brazil’s worst

Hi, my name is Alexander Henderson and I am half Brazilian. My mom grew up in the Southern region of Brazil.

At this moment I am completely heartbroken by the news of the devastating disaster happening to the beautiful state of Rio Grande do Sul in Southern Brazil.

Rio Grande do Sul has been hit by the worst floods in more than 80 years. Eighty three people are now known to have died in the flooding, while more than 100 people remain missing. More than 80,000 had been displaced.

Storms have affected almost two-thirds of the state’s 497 cities, leading to landslides, destroyed roads and collapsed bridges as well as power outages and water cuts. More than a million people lacked access to drinking water, according to Brazil’s civil defence agency.

Please help me to raise critical funds for immediate relief and long-term rebuilding efforts for Rio Grande do Sul.
