Not Only IT

There are some situations which cannot be described or be put into words that may express the extent and depth of our feelings. What has happened in Valencia is one of them. Tragedies are always tragedies but when they are not just on TV, when they are so close to you, when they happen in a city that is very dear to you, then that tragedy feels much greater in your heart. There will be time to reflect on how to avoid anything similar happening anywhere in the future but now, It is time to support. Physical support is not easy as access is extremely difficult. Then let’s contribute or support in whichever way is most suitable. As an IBMer, I have the opportunity to contribute through my company and in doing so, IBM would double that contribution. Tragedies have the ability to put many things into perspective. Appreciate your life & circumstances, many have just lost them. And to Valencia & the rest of places impacted by this tragical rain, you will get back on your feet and by doing so, you will be wiser for having had to go through this very hard and extremely difficult situation. My most sincere condolences. 🖤 🙏 🖤 #Valencia #Solidarity #Support #DANA

The recent floods in areas of Comunidad Valenciana have brought extreme devastation claiming lives, displacing families, and causing extensive property damage. While the nation’s emergency services are tirelessly working to mitigate the impact, the ongoing rains and risk of further flooding mean that sustained support is essential. Please, help my people, flood victims and survivors, in any of these different ways to contribute to relief efforts: Donate to Trusted Organizations: Financial contributions can have a direct impact, providing essential resources like food, water, and medical supplies. The Spanish Red Cross is a reliable option for donations as they are actively involved in on-ground relief efforts. Donations to other reputable charities operating in Spain can also help fund immediate assistance for those affected. https://lnkd.in/dxMQFJVz Participate in Local or International Fundraisers: Many organizations and communities are organizing fundraisers to support flood victims in Spain. Participating in these events or creating your own fundraiser can help raise awareness and financial support. Spread Awareness: Sharing verified information and donation links through social media can help raise awareness and encourage others to contribute. Spreading knowledge about the situation in Spain ensures that more people are aware of the need for support. Volunteer with Emergency Response Organizations: If you are in Spain or nearby and have relevant skills, volunteering with organizations like the Red Cross or other local NGOs can be a great way to assist directly. Many agencies welcome the help of those trained in medical assistance, logistics, and search and rescue.

Well done
