Heavy rains have been triggering floods in Central Vietnam for over a
week now, and on October 17th, it hit my hometown. Many families have
lost their homes, people went missing, and it has been confirmed that
at least over 80 people have died from the flood. I live abroad with
my family in the Czech Republic, whilst my grandma lives by herself in
Nghe An, Ha Tinh province, Central Vietnam. Her house was destroyed by
the flood together with the neighbours’ houses, and she has been
staying at a friend’s place on the second floor for a while now since
the ground floor was flooded. However, it was reaching their floor, so
she had to evacuate to higher ground. Some people who went to the
mountains were dealt with landslides causing serious injuries or even
losing their lives. I’m asking for your help since I’m a student
living away from my home country and can’t do much for my grandma.
Every penny would be of much help, and we’d be utterly grateful for
your contribution. $700 would be enough to cover for food supplies,
new clothes, personal hygiene, etc. for my grandma and the neighbourhood.
I would appreciate it if you could share this around. Please
help out my grandma and the people there. Thank you so much.
