Arrecadação de fundos para construção de casas pré-fabricadas.


Prezados membros do grupo, tenho apenas 40 dias para concluir a arrecadação de fundos para a Campanha Enchente do Rio Taquari.

Se cada pessoa do grupo doar $1 para a minha campanha de arrecadação de fundos, consigo fazer um progresso importante para alcançar o objetivo. Junto a construtores voluntários e a Prefeitura de Roca Sales com a doação de terrenos, almejamos ajudar esses sobreviventes. Você poderia me ajudar a realizar este feito?

Uma enorme área comunitária no sul do Brasil foi devastada quando um novo recorde de inundação no rio Taquari ocorreu no início de julho. Famílias de Lajeado, Estrela, Encantado, Mucum, e Roca Sales no Rio Grande do Sul, perderam tudo o que tinham.
Existem cerca de 500 famílias abrigadas no Parque do Imigrante. Cerca de 50 mil pessoas ainda estão desabrigadas. As inundações ocorrem apenas alguns dias após as áreas do sul do Brasil serem atingidas por um ciclone, uma ocorrência natural muito incomum nessas partes do continente.

Para doar, basta clicar no link da campanha abaixo:

Ajudaria muito também se você compartilhasse o link da campanha com as pessoas que você conhece. Quanto mais gente ver a minha campanha, melhor!

Fico muito grato por todo o seu apoio! Eu não conseguiria arrecadar fundos para construção de casas para essas família sem a sua ajuda.

Abraços,

Jerald Kostik

We come through this initiative to try to assist a huge community area in the south of Brazil which became devasted as a new record flooding in Taquari River took place at the beginning of July. Several families from Lajeado primarily, and also Estrela, Encantado, and Mucum, in southern State of Rio Grande do Sul are homeless. Residents were forced to leave their homes, assisted by Lajeado City Services.
Main crossroads around the region were closed, preventing locomotion of remaining residents and logistics regarding rescue, supplies distribution, and sheltering. Small boats became very useful for rescuing in far to reach areas.  
There are about 500 families sheltered at Parque do Imigrante who had their homes destroyed by the flooding. Around 50 thousand people in Lajeado and the surrounding area have been affected by this tragedy having their houses and place of work completely obliterated.
Transportation, energy supply, and many other calamities have occurred due to the river overflowing. The flooding comes just days after areas of southern Brazil were hit by a deadly cyclone, a very unusual natural occurrence in these parts of the continent.
On July 9th Taquari River reached a staggering 27,4 meters(90 feet) record high in 54 years!
Brazil is the second country worldwide with COVID-19 cases and Rio Grande do Sul is now one of the top states in the country with positive test results, thus just adding to the problem. Any help you can give will be used immediately for food, sheltering, clothing, building materials, furniture, and medicine for these families in need.
Updates will be posted showing where and how the money is being used and how your help impacts the lives of so many. Again, any assistance is deeply appreciated!
