Skating Community - URGENT CALL TO ACTION!

Just back from Brazil, where I experienced the warmth and energy of Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul. Amidst the joy of World Skate Day festivities and exhilarating skate sessions, disaster struck. Torrential rains flooded the city, engulfing everything in their path. The skatepark I reveled in is now submerged, and the vibrant spots I frequented are lost beneath the deluge.

Tragically, 7 skaters (so far..) and their families have lost everything. I've witnessed their desperate pleas for assistance, and I refuse to stand idly by. That's why I'm rallying our community for support. Every contribution to this GoFundMe will directly aid those affected, ensuring they receive the assistance they desperately need.

Despite the limitations and challenges, I'm committed to transparency and accountability. I'll oversee every donation and ensure it reaches those in need, posting receipts for full transparency. Already, I've redirected funds from my own Patreon to kickstart the relief efforts.

In times of crisis, solidarity defines us. Together, let's extend our hands to our fellow skaters and rebuild what was lost. Your generosity today will sow seeds of hope for a brighter tomorrow. Thank you for standing with us in this moment of need.

With unwavering determination,

Lino.
