Carolina Rogers hasn't added a story.
Hello my name is Carolina Montecinos-Rogers and I currently reside in upstate New York however I spent most of my life growing up in a city called Copiapo in northern Chile. Copiapo is a city located in the driest desert in the world, the Atacama desert. My entire family lives in small towns and cities scattered throughout northern Chile however my immediate family reside in Copiapo. Copiapo, and Chile in general is place very close to my heart not only because my entire family lives there but also because Chileans tend to have a natural bond to one another.
On Tuesday March 24th much needed rain began to fall throughout northern Chile. Initially all welcomed this rain as we have been dealing with a ten year drought and extremely low water reserves. As the storm progressed and intensified, it became clear that flooding was inevitable. The rain persisted and the flooding began to consume all in its path. To make a long story short, as I sit here typing, families in my home town have lost not only everything they own but in some cases family members. Homes, infastructure, and lives have all been uprooted. The situation is critical for most and people are in desperate need of essentials.
I am asking for contributions in order to help those impacted by these deadly floods. Any offerings that can be made will go directly to buy the essential items needed for those impacted (i.e. potable water, medicine, food, etc...). I can honestly say that Chileans are extremly grateful and hospitable people and your assitance will not go unappreciated. My faith in this allows me to confidently say that if you ever happen to be traveling in Chile, it is not uncommon for a stranger to be welcomed with open arms into ones home for a nourishing meal. We are that kind of people.
I would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and once again any offering that you can make would be greatly appreciated.
