This is in Portugal. The whole country is burning. People (and animals) are dying, loosing everything they have and not sleeping for days, the sky is black and you can’t breathe without a mask on.  It has been horrible, There are more than 200 active fires right now. There’s an island (Madeira) that almost doesn’t have water to stop the fire. Please spread the word since there’s no one talking about this on the news. #PrayForPortugal

Update: Madeira is being completely destroyed and is burning for over a day now. No one can control the flames. The island was known for its beautiful flowers, is now known for its ashes

Update: There are 515 active fires right now. #PrayForPortugal

I had no idea this was going on. Good luck to you, Portugal.

Because I’m too saddened to writer about this any further, more information on this post.

Ill say it again. A collective fund has been set up to help the island of Madeira, by donating to the following account: 

PT50 0035 0697 0059 7240130 28

And yes, the fire is still going, after three whole days, albeit controlled.
