DONATE AND HELP

I'm Jose de Paula, an exchange student who has been living in Galway (Ireland) since last June. I'm from São Leopoldo, a city in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul, which has suddenly been submerged and destroyed by floods. Everything is lost. Our house was submerged for more than 15 days between May 04 and May 20, destroying everything my parents built over 40 years. There's nothing left: it all needs to be discarded. After repairing the entire structure, we will need to start from scratch, purchasing all essential household items and furniture, buying everything again to be able to move back in. No contribution is too small. Even the amount of a coffee or a pint can make a difference in rebuilding our lives and home with some integrity and safety. Thank you for considering donating and supporting me and my family to rise and rebuild from this unprecedented tragedy.
