Flooding

Thanks to Dennisr for starting a thread on the flooding (over in the "Articles" forum). I thought it might be useful to start one here as well.

The situation is very bad. Many people need basic supplies. For anyone interested in lending a hand, here are some links:

Send money or whatever you can and want. It is a horrible situation . We have been inundated as well ,about a foot and a half in the whole house and it is a horrible situation. It is lucky that we have some financial security but all these poor people who have lost everything I empathise from my own experience and know they will need all the help they can get.

Right now supplies are being collected and loaded onto flatbed trucks down at the Cathedral (Plaza de Mayo). They need water, packing tape, cardboard boxes, plastic bags, clothing, baby formula - basically anything and everything. If anyone's interested, I've got station wagon here in Belgrano. My daughter and I are about to make a run. It's not a big car, but PM me if you have anything to donate. Thanks... Richard
