The ex-BBBs Marcela Mc Gowan, Thelma Assis and Amanda Meirelles are in Canoas, in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), to assist victims of the floods that devastate almost the entire state. This Thursday (9), doctors announced the creation of the first shelter just for women and children in the city.
“The first shelter just for women and children is being created here so we can get more privacy and security for them. It emerged from the efforts of several incredible women”, said Marcela, who showed how the space turned out.
“It’s the cutest thing! We got support from Me Too and Survivor to help buy things, making the shelter even more complete and special”, she added, in Instagram stories.
In addition to Marcela, Thelma celebrated the achievement. “I can’t speak, but just to say that all of this here was organized by women in a task force. And you can’t help but get emotional,” said the doctor.
Amanda, who cares for patients admitted to the ICU, also shared how the public can help the shelter through the Survivor Institute.
In-person donations can be made at Rua Venâncio Aires, 2400, Niterói neighborhood, in Canoas (RS). See what the shelter looked like here.
