Hey team
We are still working on social media and hoping for further donations to raise money to support South Brazil. I kindly ask you all to share this page with family and friends. Remember ANY AMOUNT would be greatly appreciated.
$1 you give will be converted to $3 they will be receiving so please please help us.
Here is an update of number and what it is still going on in South Brazil:
The number of affected people remains at 2.3 million, but the death toll has risen to 169, with 56 still missing. Approximately 200,000 houses are affected, leaving 600,000 people displaced, more than 56,000 in shelters and an unknown number of people staying with friends & families. The commercial and industrial sectors are also affected, with 90 per cent suffering partial or total losses.
At least 64 points located in 36 roads are still damaged or blocked, disrupting supply transport and causing significant delays. Temporary bridges and walkways were destroyed again, isolating communities. Some 381,000 students and 1,066 schools are affected, with 570 schools damaged or at risk. The Ministry of Education estimates that 87,000 students have no return date to classes, and 54 schools are still used as shelters.
Authorities are also concerned about the spread of diseases like leptospirosis, with a rapid increase of confirmed cases and more than 1,000 additional unconfirmed cases reported.
Thank you all for your donations. It means the world to us and all affected people.
