As a means to conclude the Beat reporting series, I’ve decided to share information and links for donations to assist the population and wildlife of Rio Grande do Sul. The resources provided below are directed towards organizations, groups, or individuals who utilize the raised funds to distribute necessary items for dignified subsistence within shelters in the southern region of Brazil, including non-perishable food, clean water, garments, cleaning products, and personal hygiene items. Additionally, a portion of the raised funds will be utilized in the construction and renovation of shelters and communities affected by the flood disasters.
