Dear forrozeiros,

South of Brazil is confronting devastating historical floods. The recent relentless rains have caused widespread destruction, displacing families, damaging homes, and shattering countless lives throughout the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Your support has the power to transform the lives of friends, family, and all those striving to rebuild from the ground up.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and assistance to those who have lost everything. Link for donations in our Linktree.
