government does nothing for the flood victims! so happened that I received my request for help for flood victims of Sandomierz. I could, I gave it.
girl who organized the transport and then sent me a relationship - it is shocking to me - that's why I put it here.
Dear All,
last Friday we went to Sandomierz, to provide flood victims what we have in this accumulated zebrać.Troszkę. There were clothes, cleaning supplies, bedding, dishes, toys for children, 4 beds, freezer, two TVs.
to Sandomierz arrived in the evening. All the things we made in garage in one of the families happy after that, the left bank of Sandomierz, which was not affected by the flooding. On this side of life goes on normally.
When we arrived, the house was just a host - Mr. Robert. His wife was with fellow victims of the floods. Together with friends cleaned the wall. They worked hard for many hours. They took a break only a half hour (as Anne tells you when you return). And still a mass of work, with no end in sight. Her friend had lost everything. Now save the house. Residents of flood areas will not give you advice. Each pair of hands to help is needed. Therefore, after work, some residents left bank of Sandomierz go and help save the homes and manage land damaged.
When the land became flooded with water, the media talked about it over and over again. They talked about the human drama. And now? Now there is silence. It is time to decide, life goes on. If he talked about it, the audience would fall. And this is now a need to show those areas, to show what life is like these people, talk about that flood victims need help. Unfortunately, sometimes they can not count on the promises of the government or local authorities.
I learned about this on Saturday morning, when we hit the right side of Sandomierz, and to the village and Trześń Sokolniki. After crossing the Vistula stood in front of our eyes with tears. What we saw was a shock for us. The streets lay a heap of human possessions, which was unto a dark slime. They were destroyed furniture, clothing, televisions, kitchen appliances, home furnishings, etc.
On trees, fences, balconies - hung garbage have been brought there by the water. In some areas feel awful smell.
see the backyards of working people. Until surprising that these people give advice to operate there. They had to get used to the stink.
I felt as if I entered another world. Can see dead vegetation, dominated by gray, mud everywhere. How is it possible that there are two next to each other, so different worlds, separated by the Vistula.
Coming by car from my grandma pass wheelbarrow. Heart of the country. This woman had already gone through a lot in his life, must rest, and must toil so hard. And these elderly people meet many. Here everyone is equal. Never mind ... old or young, rich or poor. The water destroyed everything. Did not spare anyone.
But everyone is equal. After talking with people and after reading the statements of victims, one can see that count are now friends. People who know the right people quickly get gifts.
So small, but in my opinion, very important example. Every family should get a fungicide, was suffice for all. I talked with the family that they had not received. The home's owners went to sanepidu, but there's nothing there. And would suffice for all ... I just go every day. May finally get something.
To this day, I was in shock after what I saw. In addition to gifts
which we drove, we bought a high-pressure washer and disinfectants. Washer that families will be shared. After cleaning the house you will need to proceed with their drying. Waiting for information from families, if they can borrow dryers over there. If not, borrow them from libraries, or from another part Polish. Must
odgrzybić and dry homes.
One of the families have nowhere to live and still sleeps in the dormitory. They took us only some clothes, food and toys for children ... because they have no where to hold.
rest live either in the fungus homes or with families.
In one house we found an older woman who looked ahead. She said nothing, and the sight of us began to cry. Her granddaughter said that since the first flood grandmother lost weight about 30 kg. Do not want to live. Well, that has a family, which is beside her. They live on the floor of his house, which was rescued. Unfortunately, breaking the ceiling and supporting walls. It is not known whether or not you will need to demolish the building. Expertise will be needed next.
These tragedies are many ... and nothing about it no longer says: (
My relationship is not able to give what I found in areas damaged by water, which is why I invite you to view photos taken by me:

would prefer to send pictures from these areas before the flood. Unfortunately ... so now it looks like there reality. I think it must be shown.
afternoon when we returned to the left bank of Sandomierz, I felt weird. Again I found myself in a beautiful green, well-kept world. But I did not feel the same way as on Saturday morning, before crossing the Vistula. I could not forget what I saw. I can not forget today.
In the near future we plan to organize further assistance for flood victims. I think this time will be collecting used furniture and appliances. I am in constant contact with their families.
For some time, let me send another email with an appeal for help for these people. I hope that it will meet it with understanding and no one will blame me.
One of the victims, said through tears: "I believe in flooding due to the fact that there are good people who help without expecting anything in return."
And I for this assistance and for the trust, which was presented to me, thank you very much.
Cordially, Edith
Replińska
