Croatia Earthquakes Relief
Dear friends and family,
I’m writing this note to let you all know of devastating and multiple earthquakes that hit Croatia in past few weeks.
My family's dear friends, Skrinjar family, is from the area that was hit hard and will need help to fix their home after the earthquakes finally stop.
I have met Skrinjar family when they moved from a town of Glina to my village as a refugee family during homeland war in Croatia in 1991. They were both our neighbors and dear friends. After the war was over, they moved back to their home town and have since rebuild their lives. Mirela who went to school with my sister and I during their refugee stay in my village, has her own family now with her husband Zlatko, they have son Filip 10 and daughter Sara 6.
Unfortunately they are forced to leave their home yet again, this time due to the multiple earthquakes every day. They are living in constant fear. They were sleeping in a car after the first two major quakes, then they moved to the grandparents camper, and now they finally received a camper for their family. They are fortunate enough that their house is still standing/not been completely destroyed. But the house is not safe to live in, and is getting damaged more and more with every quake that are currently still going on.
I am here writing to you all and asking for little act of kindness to help my dear friends. I have attached a picture of their family.
They will need to fix their house, damaged walls and destroyed furniture. Any amount big or small of donations will count.
Thank you.
Happy and healthy New Year 2021 To All!!
Love to all,
Martina
