I decided to combine all of the ways you can donate to help Rio flood victims into a single post, especially because the Brazil Foundation announced today that they will be accepting online donations on behalf of two Rio organizations working to help victims, including VivaRio and Instituto da Criança. The death toll is currently at 744 and growing, and nearly 14,000 people are temporarily homeless.
In Brazil
Donations - online and goods [national]
Donations - Rio Capital and Rio State
Donations - Rio de Janeiro
Donations - national
From Abroad
The Brazil Foundation - VivoRio and The Children's Institute
This is wonderful I have been looking for something like this to post on my twitter! Perfect, thank you!!

Hey Rachel
I just received an email from the Brazilian Chamber with this link for people who want to donate goods (not clothes) in Jersey.
