Help Bryan's Brother Rebuild After Flood

Donation protected

Full story (English)



Hi, I’m Bryan in California. Last Saturday, a sudden flash flood hit Querétaro, Mexico, overran my brother’s apartment. In hours, he lost appliances, furniture, and clothes; his car filled with muddy water and may be totaled. Authorities reported fatalities in the city and widespread damage—English coverage here: https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/queretaro-declares-state-of-emergency-after-severe-rainfall-kills-3/

What makes this especially hard is our situation at home. We lost our parents in 2019 and 2021, and we’ve been on our own ever since. I help as much as I can from California, but we only see each other once or twice a year, and supporting from afar stretches us thin.

My brother is still in college, piecing together internships that barely cover rent and food. This flood didn’t just take things—it threatens his ability to stay in school and get to class and work.

Your gift will help him replace essentials (bed, basic seating, fridge, stove, washer, clothes), clean/repair the apartment, and restore transportation (repair or replace the car, or cover transit) so he can keep studying. I’ll post updates with photos and receipts so you can see the impact. If you can’t donate, sharing helps more than you know.

Thank you for helping my brother rebuild and stay on track.

Historia en español (completa)

Hola, soy Bryan y vivo en California. El sábado pasado, una inundación súbita en Querétaro entró al departamento de mi hermano. En horas, perdió electrodomésticos, muebles y ropa; su auto quedó anegado y podría ser pérdida total. Se reportaron fallecimientos y daños en la ciudad: cobertura en inglés (Mexico News Daily) y en español (El País) en los enlaces de arriba.

Esto nos afecta más porque perdimos a nuestros padres en 2019 y 2021 y desde entonces estamos solos. Casi no puedo verlo (una o dos veces al año) y apoyarlo a distancia nos deja con muy poco margen.

Mi hermano sigue en la universidad, con prácticas que apenas alcanzan para renta y comida. La inundación pone en riesgo que siga estudiando y pueda trasladarse a clases y trabajo.

Tu ayuda servirá para reponer lo básico (cama, asiento, refrigerador, estufa, lavadora, ropa), limpieza/reparaciones del departamento y movilidad (arreglo o reemplazo del auto, o transporte). Publicaré actualizaciones con fotos y comprobantes. Si no puedes donar, compartir ayuda mucho.
Gracias por apoyarnos.
