Hello, I understand your concern and thank you for commenting and taking a real interest in your Brazilian brothers. I live in the disaster area and unfortunately those are the approximate prices here locally at the moment. The money collected will be used to equip clean up volunteers. As I shop, I'm sure I'll find items a little cheaper, others will be more expensive, and some will even be in short supply... that's the picture here. But ultimately all the money will be used to equip volunteers as best as possible. If we reach 50 of them, it will be great, if we reach more, it will be even better!!!! We will see the next days.
