Valencia, Spain – In the aftermath of the tragic flooding in Valencia two weeks ago, donations are still urgently needed to aid in the clean-up effort and to bring a sense of normalcy back to those who have lost everything.
The flooding, considered the worst natural disaster in Spain’s modern history and Europe’s worst storm-related disaster in over 50 years, is estimated to have claimed the lives of over 200 people. Entire towns have been destroyed, leaving streets filled with mud, rocks, and debris. The outskirts of Spain’s third-largest city are in desperate need of assistance.
Local businesses in Valencia have taken the lead in fundraising efforts, directing donations to the most effective channels, such as local town halls. Their goal is to ensure that the funds go directly to those who need them most and in a timely manner.
The rallying cry of “el pueblo ayuda al pueblo” (the people help the people) has inspired Valencian locals to launch a campaign for donations from around the world. The hope is to restore a sense of normalcy to the communities most affected by the tragedy. Even the smallest donations can make a difference in helping those who have been impacted.
One of the towns hit hardest by the flooding is Chiva, located just 30 kilometers inland from Valencia. The slow aid response and the vulnerability of its older population have contributed to the devastation in Chiva. The town is in desperate need of significant funding and a massive clean-up effort.
Unfortunately, many low-income households in Chiva lack the resources to restore their properties and rebuild. Some did not have insurance, and others, mainly the elderly, are physically unable to remove the thick mud from their homes. Additionally, the town hall itself is not among the most affluent, limiting the support it can provide.
In response to the situation in Chiva, local Valencian business Contese Agency is calling for donations to support the clean-up efforts in the town. They are just one of many businesses and individuals who have joined forces for this worthy cause, ensuring that the most affected flood victims in Valencia receive the necessary support.
The Chiva town hall has issued a specific appeal for immediate funds. Those who wish to donate can do so through the Official Chiva Flood Donation page.
Valencian individuals and businesses are leading the charge for donations, appealing to people around the world to help restore their proud communities to their former selves. The team at Contese is asking individuals and companies with available funds to donate directly through the local government. This will ensure that the funds reach those who need them most.
With over 200 estimated deaths and countless more losing their homes and livelihoods, urgent assistance is required to help the people of Valencia. Those who wish to help can donate to the Official Chiva Flood Donation page, with all proceeds going directly to the people of Chiva. This is one of the most impactful ways to support the residents of Valencia during this devastating natural disaster.
