<div>On the night of August 11th, Cape Verde was severely affected by the Storm Erin.
</div>
<div>This severe flooding caused enormous damage on the island of São Vicente.
</div>
<div>Heavy rainfall and mudslides in recent days have largely paralyzed the islands.
</div>
<div>Streets have been destroyed, houses have been flooded, and families have lost all their belongings. At least 9 people have died, 1,500 have been displaced, and approximately 3,000 others are affected.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The flooding has affected not only our people but also our horses and livestock. The horses are also in dire need of help after the flooding.
</div>
<div>They have been swept away and submerged. As a result, our horses are without food.
</div>
<div>Everything has been swept away by the water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need your help.
</div>
<div>We want to provide vital aid as quickly as possible: clean drinking water, food, clothing, and medical care. Every contribution, large or small, will give hope to those in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This personal initiative started because I am a businessman in Cape Verde, São Vicente island and I could not sit and watch my island be paralyzed. Together with my family we began to give out food with funds given by our family and friends on the island. I realized I needed more help so we started this fundraiser for those who want to help all over the world. We aim to support families and animals in restoring basic needs. 
</div>
<div>The funds will be transferred to my account in Cape Verde where we will keep buying food, water and other supplies daily for the ones in need. 
</div>
<div>We will be posting pictures and videos updating all our donators of the work being done on site. 
</div>
