My family lost everything - Brazilian Floods

Hi old friends and new friends,

My name is Carol and I am originally from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. I have been living in Australia since 2011 but all my relatives still live in the South of Brazil.

As many of you are aware, the South of Brazil has been hit with the worst floods ever since 1941. There are many people out of their homes and going through all kinds of hardships at the moment.

Regrettably, my own family, residing in Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul, has been profoundly impacted, losing their homes amidst the chaos.

It is with my heart broken that I am reaching out for support. I am aiming to somehow be able to support them in rebuilding their safe space, their homes. My uncle, aunties and cousin have lost their nest and been through so much emotional trauma that I can not put it into words.

If you find yourself able to contribute in any capacity, whether it be $5 or whatever amount you deem appropriate, your generosity will undoubtedly make a difference in the lives of those in need.

While I understand that one individual alone cannot solve everything, collectively, we possess the power to support one another.

With a heart full of gratitude, I accept any form of assistance to relay to my family. They have dedicated themselves to social work and education for many years, embodying kindness and compassion. Now, they find themselves in need of assistance.

Thank you immensely for your financial contributions, for sharing this fundraising initiative, or simply for your heartfelt intentions.

With love and profound appreciation,

Carol
