In the wake of the devastating storms—Kristin, Leonardo, and now Marta—that have swept across Portugal this February, our community is facing a historic challenge. With over 13 lives lost and thousands displaced, the floods have left a trail of destruction from the Douro to the Sado rivers, hitting both long-time locals and those just beginning to call this beautiful country home. While the government has mobilized a recovery package, the immediate human need is vast. Whether you have lived here for generations or are just arriving, we are one community united by the ground beneath our feet. Your contribution, no matter the size, will provide urgent food, hygiene supplies, and structural repairs for families who have lost everything.
