BRAZIL NEEDS HELP! RIO GRANDE DO SUL NEEDS HELP!

First of all, my English is terrible, so I apologize for the translation error.

I know I have very little engagement here, I hardly post anything but the situation is serious. I'm Brazilian and our country is going through a difficult time, the state of Rio Grande do Sul is suffering from major floods, people are losing their homes, Domestic animals are being abandoned, children are being found dead under the roof tiles of their homes... There is a lack of water, food, hygiene products, food for cats and dogs... The government so far is doing what it can, but the main help comes from fundraisers and donations, the entire country is mobilizing for these people's lives, But the situation is worse than we imagine.

I will try to find articles explaining the situation better and links with instructions on how to help, but only if you repost or try to find out more about our situation will help A LOT.

BRAZIL NEEDS HELP! RIO GRANDE DO SUL NEEDS HELP!

🚨 PLEASE READ AND SHARE THIS! 🚨 ITS URGENT! 🚨

This is not clickbait. I live in Rio Grande do Sul, which is in the very south of Brazil, and my entire state is in a state of emergency, my city being one of the most affected.

There's hundred of people dead, thousand of people missing, tens of thousand of people who have evacuated their homes and left everything behind. The water has taken over my state, taken over everything, and it won't stop raining.

My entire city, everything I've ever known, is gone, taken over by water. There's nothing to do, nowhere to go.

You can look anywhere and find a dead body floating in the water, find people in their roofs who have been waiting for rescue for 5, 10, 20 hours, find pets locked inside homes and swimming endlessly and still probably won't make it.

People have seen their homes be destroyed, have left everything behind - all memories, all clothes, all belongings. Have tried to swim to safety with nothing but the clothes on their bodies.

My city alone has at least 30 shelters taking people, of which some go up to 3 thousand residents.

The airport is closed, taken over by water too. And it's still fucking raining.

I don't know if my city will recover from this. I'm not ready to see how many have died. I don't know when this is going to end.

I've never been so scared.

And the thing is, NO ONE FUCKING KNOWS. My world, my life, my home - everything is fucking falling apart, and no one knows. Media outlets are not talking about it, not even in the rest of the country. MY COUNTRY.

This is the biggest tragedy my state has ever seen, probably will ever see.

My people, my neighboors, my friends - they're dying. From hypothermia, from drowning.

And you should know this is happening. People should know. People should care.

We deserve that, at least. For all we lost.

‼️‼️STOP SCROLLING AND READ THIS PLEASE‼️‼️

In brazil, there's been having a lot of floods in the southern region of the country, more specifically in the state of Rio Grande do Sul

Every day people are dying , cities are submerged, a single city was erased from the map for being totally underwater.

"Sadly the city of Eldorado RS, doesn't exist anymore - The city was totally covered by water"

Everyday, people have to witness everything they've built get lost admist the water, people have to live with floating bodies of adults, children, toddlers, newborns, animals, dogs, cats, elders, every possible life in these cities are being taken away by the floods.

People spend day and night on rooftops, waiting for boats to save them, but not everyone comes out alive.

Hear this audio:

The man says: "Hey Gabriela, deal with what I'll tell you now, there was three children at the boat with me, one of them asked me to pick up a doll that was floating, and I went to grab the doll. It wasn't a doll, it was a baby, a dead baby."

It's the reality of what's happening in Brazil right now when you're reading this.

Sadly, I can't share more than one video here on Tumblr, but theres an audio of a woman thanking her parents for everything, saying she loved them and asking them to take care of her dog Maicon, in the audio, she said she didn't feel her legs, that she felt like she was hallucinating, that the water was almost at her chin, that she was about to die, that her other dog died. After the woman spoke, the sound of the roof breaking and falling was heard in the background, sounds of water splashing, and after the audio was sent, she died, submerged in the ruins of her own underwater house.

We can't do much, but if whoever is seeing this post could donate for help, it would be a step closer to salvation of more and more people.

Here's the link if you want to donate for Rio Grande do Sul: Vakinhahttps://www.vakinha.com.br › a-ma...A Maior Campanha Solidária do RS

Help out the people of Rio Grande do Sul!!

If you care about anything I've posted hear me out

You need to know what's going on in Rio Grande do Sul

They're going through an unprecented crisis due to immense flooding. THIS IS NOT A ROUTINE OR NORMAL THING TO HAPPEN THERE!

People's houses are literally floating away. Animals are drowning. People are getting terribly hurt and being left completely homeless out of the blue

One day they were living normal lives, the next the sudden flood either took everything away or left them stranded in what suddenly became an island surrounded by rubble-filled water

From what I've heard the Rios Grande do Sul state also suffered immense flooding last year and some were just now getting stable again after that, and in cane a flooding up to three times worse

The water is still going up. It is not stopping. The situation is getting worse

They're being left resource-less and incommunicated and from what I've heard this isn't even getting proper coverage within Brazil itself

Please listen to the actual Brazilians, I wanna help them out but I'm not Brazilian myself. Look up Rio Grande do Sul, see what's going on, see if you can donate to help them out

I'll provide some links to video coverage of the situation because

If you speak portuguese, thus video covers the current and last year's situation well as well as speaking on the lack of proper media coverage

[axel-the-goat-guy]

Please help...

People are currently drowning or missing or having there homes submerged in Rio Grande Do Sul. A state in Brazil.

And my partner, @volksvulpis, is currently living in Brazil as well as some of her friends who have gone missing.

The government isn't helping the affected people, and people are drowning and losing their homes, whole cities are being lost....

If you are able to, please donate...

The world seems to be going to shit, doesn't it? Genocides, floods, forced starvation, literal war crimes currently being committed. All while the governments that are supposed to protect their people are actively trying to kill them. I mean for fucks sake I've seen peaceful protesters and innocents are being shot by the police. You know, the one's you're call 911 for in case of emergency and shit.

Please please please share this.

I'm going to tag as many larger tumblr based influencers (or whatever the term would be) I can think of here on tumblr to try and spread awareness about this.

I found this video that explains in English everything that happened here (and is still happening) and an idea of proportion.

The state of Rio Grande do Sul is almost the same size as Italy, so it's like the whole Italy was underwater.

The water it's still high and the government said it's going to be close to 60 days until the water goes down completely.

So if you can help, in anyway, please do! You can help by sharing here and in others social medias so more people are aware of this!

You can donate here

HUNDREDS OF BRAZILIAN CITIES ARE UNDER WATER

Hello, my non brazilian followers! I don't know if you already know the situation in Brazil right now, but heavy rains caused widespread flooding in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. Now, hundreds of towns under water. People lost their houses, animals, everything, a lot of people died and a lot are still not found.

[Images: https://www.google.com/amp/s/g1.globo.com/google/amp/rs/rio-grande-do-sul/noticia/2024/05/05/chuvas-no-rio-grande-do-sul-veja-fotos.ghtml ]

A video explaining the situation (in Portuguese with subtitles):

A lot of people here are helping how they can. Donations here are almost all done by Pix (a Brazilian form of payment that is fast and direct). I know pix does not exist in other countries, so I was searching for ways to help if you're not in Brazil so I could share here, since the majority of my followers are not Brazilians.

LINKS TO HELP:

1. Cozinha Solidária MTST:

2. Central Única das Favelas (CUFA):

donations via paypal: doacoes@cufa.org.br

3. MST:

Any donation can help a lot! Please share this post so more people can help!

Thank you!

Heyyy, I know I don't do this kinda stuff for a while by now, the last time was abt palestine ig? (Don't forget about palestine y'all)

But palestine is not the point of this post, I wanna talk about a tragedy that is happening on my country, Brazil, on a State called Rio Grande do Sul..

For those who don't know:Rio Grande do Sul is suffering the biggest tragedy ever seen in Brazil, because of the frequent heavy rains that are happening in the country, Rio Grande do Sul is suffering floods and flooding, all cities were affected and the water dams simply cannot handle everything. Seriously, the water level is VERY strong, MANY people were left homeless because their homes were FLOODED, do you realize what it's like to lose EVERYTHING overnight?

Not to mention how many people have DIED and are MISSING, when the water level drops, do you know what will be in the streets? Bodies. Bodies of people who were unable to save themselves. Citizens, police officers and the fire department are rescuing people and animals with CANOES, which soon become too full to hold more people, they are using helicopters to save people who are on the ROOF of their homes to save themselves, the situation is alarming..

Do you know the audio reports of people I heard? Do you know what people say on then? People who are volunteering to save others in canoes have many of their reports posted on tiktok or instagram, here is a very small part of what I heard:

"One of the children kept asking for a doll that was floating in the water... I went to get the doll, it wasn't, it was a baby, it was a dead baby."

"4 girls were on the roof, I went there and 2 of the girls said: 'You're going to take us all, right Mr?' So I said 'I will, I will' and one said: 'Take our little sisters too'... the girls were dead. . I didn't have the courage to leave their bodies there and I took them with us."

"I saw my dead dog floating in front of me, take care of Mark for me *the audio was cut off because the water interrupted.*"

Please, please boost this to help Rio Grande do Sul, please donate with as much as you can, it can be 54 cents, 1 dollar, 1 real, just please help the the people who were left homeless by the flood.

This is the Pix qr code to donate made by the State Government, but you can find many other donation links with just a little search, I'll try to post some of them with a reblog.

!!PEOPLE ARE DYING BECAUSE OF NATURAL DISASTERS IN MY STATE!!!

If you’ve seen the news of southern Brazil these last few days you know we’re having the worst climate disaster of the country’s history because of torrential rains and floods. More than half the state I live in are out of their homes because of the water. Many have died drowned to the point cities have bodies floating around.

Here are some articles:

I am privileged to live in a higher area, but many aren’t. I have friends who were deeply affected and have lost everything. Our airport is closed. The ways by land were badly damaged and is very precarious. Our cities are isolated without food, shelter or water. So I have to share with you some ways you can help even from far away…

Reminder: our currency is cheap, so even small donations make a difference!!!!!

PRIVATE INITIATIVES:

GoFundMe, I think only for Europe? It’s in Euros

GoFundMe in USD

Any currency:

DONNATE DIRECTLY TO THE STATE:

Euros, dollars or pund sterling:

(I don’t super recommend this one tho, volunteers and private initiative are doing a very good job to get donations and distribute them, our government is focused on stopping the water and relocating people as they should)

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Governo do Rio Grande do Sul (@governo_rs)

Any doubts or new information please contact me. ANY help is welcome!!!!

If you can’t donate money PLEASE help spread information! Like and share this post 🧡

BRAZILIAN FRIENDS!!

There's a great initiative by a fan organization to help the people affected by the flood happening in Rio Grande do Sul.

They will be giving away one ticket to ANY Louis concert in Brazil and the only thing you have to do is donate at least 2 reais to one of the aid centers listed HERE.

*Fill out the google form and add proof of your donation. You can donate as many times as you'd like, each donation will count for a chance of winning.

If you're not interested in a ticket or don't need one, check out this thread they've made with sources for donation.

To non-brazilian friends who would like to help out, you can share this and check this post where you can find a link for international donations.

[deusa-astaroth666]

I would like to thank everyone for the messages of support and asks🥺❤️, I've already started the drawings and they will be ready by tomorrow, I'm doing them with great care and it really helped me calm down a lot and I even managed to eat a little. I also have three news, one good and two bad.

The good news is that one of my friends got in touch and is well and safe so far, the water has not reached her house.

Now for the bad, my friend and her family are without drinking water to bathe and the water in the fridge to drink is also running out, I hope they deliver supplies to her soon. The other bad news is that my other friend hasn't gotten in touch yet and to make matters worse, another water dam burst, in other words... the catastrophe has just gotten worse and the chances of the current reaching her house have increased, which only increases my concern. I really hope she is safe, the city of Porto Alegre is devastated by the waters, no one leaves or enters except the volunteers with helicopters and boats, an entire city is under water, there are 78 people dead so far and more than 105 are missing, every hour this number grows, 20 thousand have been rescued and 115 thousand are homeless.

The last time I saw something like this was in the tragedy of Brumadinho in Minas Gerais, please do something about it to make it known to the outside media, Brazil needs help, the State of Rio Grande Do Sul is sinking and the tendency is to get worse, Anything to help our country is welcome, donations, repercussions and prayers, here below there will be some videos of the current situation in the State, they are strong images so watch them if you are psychologically prepared😥

I will translate for you

Flood destroys city of Roca Sales in Rio Grande do Sul

Unfortunately I can only put a single video here, but on Tik Tok and YouTube there are several of them, if you are interested in donating, the government is creating pix keys and the victims themselves too, I will send some Tik Tok accounts that are fighting to help animals and people who were victims of this tragedy. Every 1 Real (Brazilian currency) is worth 0.20 of the North American dollar.

Government releases Pix key for donations

The number for donations is: 92.958.800/0001-38. When making the transfer, confirm that the destination bank is "Banrisul (Banco do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul)".

https://www.tiktok.com/@saramicaela14?_t=8m74sIjUsbO&_r=1

This child asks for help with beds and toys, the wreckage you can see behind is what's left of his house.

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMtDh8cf/

Here you can see animal rescue

If you want to make other donations for specific things like animal feed and food, just Google the banks that are receiving them, I think it will be safer that way.

I hope that everyone is well and that none of you have to go through something like this, I will continue to update you about it, as it is the only way I could help the media see us, since as I mentioned before the event has passed. unnoticed since it occurred on the same day as Queen Madonna's concert.

Thank you for reading this far, have a good night❤️❤️

‼️‼️‼️‼️Attention for Rio Grande do Sul‼️‼️‼️‼️

Well, I have no idea how long it's been since I've been on this blog, but I've come to make a request.

Rio Grande do Sul, a Brazilian state, has suffered floods and is almost completely under water. It's in a state of emergency. We don't know the exact death toll, but it's probably in the hundreds. Many more people are homeless and have lost everything. The money that the state is asking for in donations from the people, because despite warnings the state government didn't prepare, isn't reaching the people. Several celebrities and influencers, as well as the federal government, have gone to the scene to help and made donations, but it's still not enough. The reports and news coming out of Brazil make the disaster seem smaller than it is.

I found a link to a video in English that talks about this, for those who want to understand it better, and it's being talked about a lot on Brazilian tiktol and Instagram:

I have an uncle who lives in this region and constantly travels between the states for work, and we haven't heard from him.

I know it probably has grammatical errors or something, but I don't care. Please share. ‼️‼️ Attention Rio Grande do Sul!‼️‼️

[ma-du]

PLEASE, IF YOU CAN DONATE, DONATE! WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!

Thank you.

[d33rzet]

"i know this is like the worst place to talk about this, but a large part of brazil is literally underwater in the largest floods we've seen in a long time. it's being called the 2024 Rio Grande Do Sol floods if you want to do more research, there's gofundmes and charities out there too. the floods are incredibly fast and hundreds of towns are underwater. i have family in that area and every time i receive news it gets more and more horrifying. the floods are so fast that people don't have time to unchain their dogs and they die of drowning."

This Is From One Of My Rl Friends, This Is An Awareness Post For Them And Many Others Who Expirence The Floods - Reblogs Highly Appreciated!!!

[ethanwifeyyy]

This app is nothing more than a big bubble where only crazy people live because right now in Brazil there's a fucking climate catastrophe happening that took a fucking city off the map (because now it's completely submerged) but I don't see anyone here talking about it

These photos were taken by helicopters showing the situation of the cities after the floods

Animals, childrens, families all those people are losting everything cause of this so help in the way you can (share or donating money for food and stuff)
