Adrian@TORQEN Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Dear friends, Many of you may not be aware of what is happening in Romania as we speak. Heavy snow fall for nearly 2 weeks, low temperature down to -34.5C and really strong winds have brought snow built up to 6-8m or even more in some areas, specially in the county where I come from, Vrancea. Many people, especially old and children are trapped in their remote houses in hundreds of villages. Snow is well above the roof. Hundreds of roads are closed. 79 people died so far. There is a massive risk of flooding once the snow gets melted, that will be another cause to worry about! Thousands of houses are damaged and nearly collapsing. As a Romanian at my origins and trough the ROMANi ONLiNE forum I founded 8 years ago I have decided that I must help as much as I can. Therefore, as of yesterday 14th of February 2012 I have started a fund raising campaign with the aim of collecting at least £5000.00. In less than 24 hours we've managed to raise nearly £3000! I will personally travel to Romanian next Monday for a week and buy food, drinks, blankets and whatever else we may find necessary once we get there. 2 other voluntaries will join me to Romanian and at least 5 others that are already there. With the permission from the 350z-UK Forum administration I would kindly ask you for your support! Here are some quick facts about the campaign: HOW LONG WILL THE FOUND RAISING LAST? 14th - 21st of February 2012 WHAT AREAS OF ROMANIA?
