A friend told me, the bombeiros of Calheta need benefits urgently (as she told me, there is an appeal for help on the Calheta Portal
Needed are things like fruit juice, energy drinks, fruits etc.
They could be delivered at Quartel dos Bombeiros near the traffic circle at Calheta, near to the Serrão gasoline station.
If anyone is in this area and would like to help that would be great.
Today we donated energy drinks for the firemen in calheta. We talked to them and they are so pleased for the help they get from the people. We get there back on Monday for other things they may need.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the supermarkets also already made donations.
