The collection box will remain at the Forum until that date for anyone who still wants to help. “When we emptied the box, new donations arrived, and we still have other larger objects donated by the servers to forward. May this current of kindness bring some relief to our neighbors, who have been suffering so much”, reinforces head of secretariat Yonara Zeschau Schimitz Silva.
