I know my account is small and I usually only use it to say stupid things about the silly media I consume, but this is very important.
The state I was born in is currently underwater. I lived there my entire life and left just six months ago. I have family and friends in Porto Alegre and Viamรฃo but the area they live in wasn't as affected and they're all safe and at home. They are currently helping by distributing food and clothes. Most people weren't so lucky. They lost everything, many lost their lives. Civilian volunteers have been working day and night helping evacuate the victims.
This is the biggest catastrophe Rio Grande do Sul has ever faced.
If you could help at all, be it by donating or spreading awareness, please do.
