sandycoelho:They say pictures worth more than a thousand words.That’s what I’m giving to you.Pictures. Because I don’t have words to explain how I am feelingright now.I don’t have an account with a lot of followers oranything like that, but this is one of the ways that I use to have a voice inthe internet and this is the time I’m going to ask for help.Not for me, but for my country.Being away only makes everything worse. This is one ofthe only ways I know how to try to help.Portugal has, at the time I’m writing this, more than200 active fires.All the country is in flames.Lives lost (people & animals), houses, hospitals,hotels, nursing homes, schools being evacuated.There’s more than 1000 people homeless (only onFunchal, where’s the biggest concern is right now) and countless values ofdamage.There are a lot of fires active right now, the onesthat are more concerning are Funchal on Madeira Islands and Arouca, who got outcontrol during the night because of the strong wind who changed the directionof the fire.The headlines of a lot of international newswebsites/newspapers, are talking about Funchal, but all the country needs help.Caritas Portugal opened an account that’s receivingdonations for the ones who were affected on Funchal.You can check all the informations here: Cáritas -Apoio à Madeira (the website in Portuguese, but google translate canhelp you translate the page.)If you’re portuguese and you’re reading this and wantto help, try to reach your fire corporation and give them water, fruits, cerealbars, most of the corporations are asking for that.If you can, a lot of them accept money donations too,but at the time, they need to stay hydrated and having food to eat, especiallythe ones who are working on this fires.As someone who has friends in almost all the placesaffected by the fires, friends who are firefighters and are fighting thisterrible fires,as someone who’s living aboard and didn’t slept allnight because I couldn’t reach them, I’m here asking for help.Help them in the best way you can.I will do my best to help them too.If you can, please share this post.Internationalnews: “Residents defend their homes with garden hosepipesand buckets of water as forest fire rages in Madeira Islands.” “Madeira wildfires: Three dead as flames reachFunchal.”“Madeira forest fires: At least three dead andhundreds hospitalised as blazes sweep across holiday island.“ “Insane pictures of wildfires that are burning acrossPortugal right now.”You can stay updated about the situations here: Fogos.pt & Twitter. -- source link
