Help Pau Rebuild His Life After the Devastating DANA Floods

Hello, my name is Cristina, and I’m helping my friend Pau.

On the night of October 29, the powerful DANA storm swept through Alfafar, bringing devastating floods that changed lives in moments. My friend Pau, the owner of a beloved tea shop called La Tetería Algar, was among those deeply affected. His cozy shop had become a cherished space for friends, families, and locals alike—a place to connect over innovative teas, comforting snacks, and a welcoming atmosphere. But in one night, he lost not only his business but also his car and nearly everything he had built over years of dedication and hard work.

While trying to get home, Pau was caught in the floodwaters and spent a harrowing night seeking shelter in nearby buildings, listening to the cries of others in need. Thankfully, he made it to safety, but the damage left behind was immense.

At La Tetería, Pau lost all his equipment—fridges, dishwashers, tables, chairs, and essential supplies. His car, crucial for sourcing ingredients and supplies, was also destroyed. For the past two years, he had poured his energy into both running the tea shop and studying professional cooking, with hopes of one day expanding into a restaurant. Now, he faces the challenge of starting over from scratch.

Despite this devastation, he has been working tirelessly to clean up and support his community. He’s still uncertain whether he’ll rebuild La Tetería or start fresh on a new path, but in either case, he will need support to recover. Funds raised will go toward helping Pau replace his lost resources, cover essential costs, and give him the stability he needs to begin again.

Your support can help Pau rebuild his life and create a new future, however he decides to move forward. Thank you for any contribution, large or small, to help him take steps toward recovery and renewal.

Who are you, and what are you raising funds for?

I’m raising funds for my friend Pau, a humble and hardworking person who lost his business, his car, and nearly everything he owned in the devastating Dana floods. He’s in urgent need of support as he starts from scratch, and he lacks the resources to rebuild on his own.

Why is this cause important to you?

Pau isn’t just a friend—he’s like a brother to me. He’s been by my side through every tough moment in my life, and now it’s my turn to be there for him. To help, I’ve already lent him my car so he can start moving forward. I want to support him in building a new future, whether that means bringing back his tea shop or starting a fresh path.

How will the funds be used?

Pau is still coming to terms with the devastation of losing everything he worked so hard to create, and he faces a difficult decision: whether to rebuild La Tetería or pursue a new direction. Regardless of the path he chooses, he’ll need to start from scratch. Your support will help Pau regain stability, covering essentials as he navigates this challenging time and rebuilds his foundation—whether he decides to reopen his tea shop or turn toward a new opportunity.

How will the beneficiary receive the funds?

I’ll personally ensure that Pau receives all funds directly. We’ll be sharing updates on social media to show how every donation is being used to support his journey to recovery. Transparency is important to us, and we want you to see the impact of your generosity.
