How to help the people in Spain

As you may have seen online, Spain is going through a flash flood since October 29. It's mainly affected the Community of Valencia but also some parts of the south-west and the cold drop is now moving to the north-east.

95 bodies have been found at the time I'm writing this (edit: 205 now), there's still people missing and entire towns are isolated as they don't have electricity and their roads have been destroyed. A lot of people don't have tap water or any means to cook. If you're wondering why people didn't evacuate beforehand, it's because authorities didn't care enough to warn people so technically everyone had to go to work and school. Though politicians should be held accountable, the most important thing at the moment is to help those in need. So here's some ways you can help both people and animals that have been affected.

Families and towns

MOST NEEDED AT THE MOMENT: You can donate to Valencia's food bank by making a transfer to this bank account: ES86 2100 2806 6402 0009 8998.

Horta Sud is a county in Valencia that has been the most affected by the floodings. People are leaving their houses because they're scared of the infrastructure getting damaged and even walking by foot to Valencia capital to get food. You can help those families via this gofundme.

Hambre Cero is a Spanish non-profit that was founded after the earthquakes in Indonesia. They will be giving food to those who need it. Here's different ways you can donate.

Cáritas is a Spanish organization formed by different Catholic non-profits. They'll be giving food and also helping clean up the towns. You can donate here by clicking the button where it says "donar".

You can help rebuild the town of Letur (Albacete) by donating to this gofundme that's directly coordinated with the town hall.

This gofundme is joining efforts with the town hall of Valencia to help people who have lost their homes.

Please help this family in Valencia rebuild their home.

Una copa por Valencia ("a drink to Valencia") is a campaign organized by Spanish influencer David Aliagas. The idea behind it is to donate the amount of money you would spend on drinks on a night out. He'll be joining effort with local non-profits. You can help here.

Here's a thread of artists that are accepting commissions in exchange for donations for Valencia.

Animal shelters

Refugio Minipow was home to 50 rabbits and guinea pigs. Thankfully, the owners were able to move all the animals to their homes and those of their neighbors, though the shelter itself has been destroyed right after recent renovations. There's different ways to donate here.

El Refugio de María a dog shelter in Sueca (Valencia), is completely flooded, leaving the dogs visibly distressed, as shown here. You can donate to PayPal maria.g.may@gmail.com

Modepran is a dog shelter in Campanar (Valencia) where infrastructure damage has left some dogs without a proper sleeping area. You can donate through PayPal here.

Gatos Campo de Gibraltar is a cat shelter in Los Barrios (Cádiz). need of assistance for relocating cats to new homes and rebuilding damaged facilities. You can donate to their PayPal gatoscampodegibraltar@gmail.com

Protectora San Antón is an animal shelter for cats and dogs in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz). The entire place is flooded and the animals don't have a comfortable place to sleep in. Cats can't even walk on the ground. You can donate to their PayPal protectorasananton@hotmail.com

I'll be adding more as I find them. Thank you everyone for your help.

Edit: adding this because I keep seeing people on Twitter and Tiktok say it makes no sense to give money to people in a "first world" country. I need you people to understand that living in a western country doesn't equal politicians caring about you.

This whole thing started because politicians weren't doing their job and they're still not doing it. People (literal civilians, not firefighters or policemen) are literally pulling bodies from under cars and putting them inside the trunks so children in the affected areas don't see them. There's underground parkings still flooded by water and we don't know how many people may be inside them.

France offered to send us 200 firemen and the Ministry of Interior literally REFUSED. Some of these French firemen came on their own anyway. But that's what our politicians are doing. Negating help and pointing fingers at each other so they don't seem guilty.

Hufflepuff: let's hold hands! All of us.

Slytherin: I think I'll pass.

Gryffindor: now it looks like we're making a triangle.

Hufflepuff: no, we're making a heart!

Ravenclaw: more like we're making a sect.

Slytherin: you're making fools of yourselves.

[quotinghogwartshouses]

Gryffindor: a moth has spent 24 hours in my bedroom.

Hufflepuff: aww she's basically your pet now. Have you thought of any names yet? I have some suggestions.

Slytherin: split your bills in a half and make it pay or kill it without hesitation.

Ravenclaw: what if she's a shapeshifter that has fallen in love with you? Roommates. Enemies to lovers. I should be writing this as we speak.

[quotinghogwartshouses]

Ravenclaw: the only bad part about having a life-size Levi Ackerman in your bedroom is that you feel very judged when you write smut before you sleep.

Gryffindor: you have a WHAT NOW?

Hufflepuff: you write SMUT??

Slytherin: you actually sleep???

[quotinghogwartshouses]

Slytherin:

Hufflepuff: are you alright?

Slytherin:

Gryffindor: okay they're not answering verbally. Let's do this. Raise your little finger if you're okay, raise your index finger if you're not feeling well.

Ravenclaw: ... or just give thumbs up or thumbs down.

Gryffindor: whatever. LOOK, THEIR HAND IS MOVING.

Slytherin: *raises middle finger*

[quotinghogwartshouses]

Hufflepuff: can you buy me a gremlin?

Ravenclaw: no.

Hufflepuff: why? And don't tell me it's because they don't exist. They do. I know.

Ravenclaw: but it's unethical. "Don't buy, adopt".

Hufflepuff: you're so right and wise.

Going book shopping

Hufflepuff, with 4 books on each hand already: OMG THIS ONE IS COMPLETELY NECESSARY TOO.

Ravenclaw: so necessary you didn't even remember it existed until you saw it a solid second ago.

Hufflepuff: touché. How have you not picked a single book? You love them as much as I do.

Ravenclaw: because I want to finish all the books I have at home first, and I need to do a very extensive research about them before I buy them so I'm completely sure they will meet my high standards and I won't get disappointed.

Hufflepuff: that's pretty smart.

Ravenclaw: ... it's actually because I'm broke.

[quotinghogwartshouses]

Hufflepuff: what was that fancy word for people with fake behaviours?

Ravenclaw: "hypocrite".

Gryffindor: I was about to say [Slytherin].

Slytherin: HEY!

Slytherin:

Slytherin: you think my name sounds fancy?

[quotinghogwartshouses]

Hufflepuff: hey Raven... Do you know how to travel to a better parallel universe?

Ravenclaw: do you think that if I knew the answer I would be here???

[quotinghogwartshouses]

*Texting in the Houses group chat*

Gryffindor: do you have any favourite couples?

Ravenclaw: yes, you and **

Gryffindor: hey I don't know anyone whose name has only two letters!

Slytherin: please for Merlin's sake say sike

Hufflepuff: Gryff, sweetheart, even I got it

Gryffindor: so what did it mean?

Ravenclaw: ... You and me, you fucking moron

[quotinghogwartshouses]

Hufflepuff: remember when we were like 10 and I was constipated so you entered the bathroom with me with an entire bunch of bananas because you thought eating that could help me to shit but then your aunt caught me eating like 8 bananas while you stared??? Because I do frequently.

Ravenclaw: I DID WHAT

"I'm not going to join that online class, it's a waste of time and I have better things to do, like procrastinating"

Gryffindor and Ravenclaw

[quotinghogwartshouses]

Hufflepuff: if I can move to a desert island and survive by eating fruits why don't I just do it?

Gryffindor: go ahead. No one's stopping you. Live your life to the fullest.

Slytherin: don't listen to Gryff, Huff. You're definitely not going to do that.

Ravenclaw: shut up she's talking about Animal Crossing you idiots.

Wearing pyjamas

Slytherin: *laughs hysterically*

Ravenclaw: what happens what's going on

Slytherin: did you steal that thing from a nursing home?

Ravenclaw:

Slytherin:

Ravenclaw: I'm... I'm in striped pyjamas, you're wearing two hats at the same time

The Hogwarts houses and types of teachers

Gryffindor: there are two types of teachers, the ones that still have some faith in me for some unknown and miraculous reason and the ones that think that I'm a complete and absolute failure.

Slytherin: there are two types of teachers, the ones that I care about so I actually pay attention during their classes and the ones that could die in front of me and I wouldn't even notice.

Hufflepuff: there are two types of teachers, the ones that think I'm cute and the ones that think I'm cuter.

Ravenclaw: there are two types of teachers, the ones that think that I am a model student because I've made them think so even if I am absolutely not and the ones that... well turns out there's only one type of teacher.
