I do not have a large follower base but I'm hoping people will be able to reblog this and get it to people who might be able to lend help
These pictures and words cannot begin to describe the pain the city is going through. Intentional wildfires razed the city. The houses lost are between 3000 - 6000. The official death toll is 99 people and hundreds of animals but the numbers could double as many areas of debris have not been searched and some bodies may have simply been disintegrated, while also having aprox 400 people unaccounted for. The bodies left on the streets are being eaten by dogs
People burned in their homes, in their cars, in the streets. They ran but the fire ran faster. Entire families have been lost, the damage is irreparable. Stories of bravery are abundant but also are those of tragedy. If you can, donate a dollar to Desafío Levantemos Chile (Challenge Lift Chile) as they are the only organization with Paypal for abroad donations.
Please reblog if you want. Every cent counts to let people have roofs over their heads before winter comes
It is something that is happening in my country and right in my region, there is a gigantic fire that has been active for two days and fear in the streets is at its peak.
Not many people know my country well but really if someone knows how to use Chilean bank accounts they can donate to firefighters and homes, here unfortunately firefighters do not receive salaries they are volunteers who are now risking their lives.
The situation is very ugly, many people have died, pets too, as well as lost people of all ages and many people have lost everything.
And I think they don't have Paypal, unfortunately, but if there are people who know by chance, a small contribution is enough.
There are devastating fires in the Valparaiso region of Chile that are still not contained. As of 9:00pm [February 4th, EST], 161 kilometres have burned, and many have tragically passed away or are missing.
People online have started gofundme's or have wired money to people in Chile via paypal. The ones I attached from Twitter are posting receipts.
I hope the wildfires are stopped very soon. My heart goes out to the people in this region.
Otro año más que se va, llega la temporada de promesas que no se cumpliran, de preguntas sin respestas, los ojos llenos juicios, las sonrisas de dolor, los abrazos de traición, la decepción disfrazada de amor.
