Solidarity with Madeira

24th of February 2010 - http://www.topcasas.co.uk/

Helping on a "new Sunrise" for Madeira

Following the big natural disaster that happened in Madeira some days ago, we would like to express our solidarity with the people in suffer and pain for what happened.

To give our contribution we decided to create a page with direct links to some existing institutions/companies that are currently helping to put down the suffer of the Madeira inhabitants. We expect this way to drive some of our website traffic to these entities in order to eventually raise more funds or goods to this cause.
The direct page to these links can be accessed going to: http://www.topcasas.co.uk/en/about-us-topcasas-silver-coast-estate-agents/help-madeira-victims-solidarity.html

Or going to our main page - http://www.topcasas.co.uk/ - where the page link will be presented in the Slide Show.

Or by going to http://www.topcasas.co.uk/ > About Us > Madeira Solidarity

A big effort as been carried out in the past days to allow the city of Funchal and the areas affected in the island to turn back to the possible normallity.

It is impressing how people join together and give hands to help each other in moments like this. Proof of this is what is happening in Madeira where neighbours are helping neighbours that lost everything or almost everything..
