 Intense tropical rainstorms since Tuesday have caused massive landslides and killed more than 200 people in Teresópolis. Teresópolis received 160 mm of rain within only four hours, more than the amount expected for the entire month of January, and the death toll is expected to rise with hundreds reported missing. Almost 2,000 people lost their homes or are dislocated. Teresópolis is located a hundred kilometers northeast of Rio de Janeiro and the mayor officially declared a state of emergency. Your donation will provide displaced landslide victims with urgent necessities such as bottled water, milk, and food. These people have lost everything and the situation is still dire. We need your help! Every penny counts!  |
