Exploring Glina: Discover the Charms and Resilience of Sisak-Moslavina's Rebuilding Journey

Rebuilding Lives After Devastating Earthquakes in Croatia

In just 10 seconds, everything can be lost. The devastating earthquakes that struck Petrinja, Sisak, and the surrounding villages in Croatia on December 28th and 29th, were a stark reminder of the destructive power of nature. The magnitude 6.3 earthquake on December 29th left these areas in ruins, destroying homes and displacing families. Now, the focus is on rebuilding and helping those in need to restore their lives and homes.

The Devastation

The affected areas, including Petrinja and Sisak, are among the poorest in Croatia and have struggled to recover from the aftermath of the homeland war in the 1990s. The recent earthquake has further compounded their challenges. Houses have been completely destroyed, leaving families homeless, and the road to recovery will be long and arduous.

Aid for Those in Need

One of the initiatives to support the affected families is a video campaign aiming to raise awareness and gather donations to help those most in need. The video showcases the stories and struggles of several families who lost their homes in the earthquake.

One of the families featured is Franjo and his family from Petrinja. Their house was completely destroyed, and they are currently living in a trailer, struggling to make ends meet. Another family, the Prasnjaks, is a large family with 12 children. They lived in a tent after the earthquake, which was challenging, especially because one of the children had received a kidney transplant and required special care. The video highlights their need for a mobile home to provide suitable accommodation for their family.

Mato Golubovic, a veteran of the Homeland War, now faces the task of rebuilding his home for the second time in 20 years. The first time was after the war, and now the earthquake has destroyed what he and his family had built. The house was their refuge during the war, but it collapsed during the earthquake, leaving them homeless once again.

Other families, such as the Staresinovics and the Vrbanacs, also experienced the devastation firsthand. Their homes were destroyed, leaving them with no safe place to live. The challenges they face are further compounded by the ongoing aftershocks and the impending threat of inclement weather, such as heavy snowfall, which poses additional risks to their already unstable houses.

Support and Donations

The video aims to provide a platform for these families to share their stories and raise awareness about their situation. It also encourages viewers to donate to help these families rebuild their lives. In the video description, the IBAN and SWIFT numbers of the families are listed, allowing direct donations to their personal accounts. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant impact on their lives.

The response and support from individuals and organizations will determine the success of this campaign. If the video manages to help these families and inspire others to donate, the hope is to expand the initiative and help even more families in need. The road to recovery will be long, but with the collective effort and generosity of others, these families can rebuild their lives and find hope in the face of adversity.

Thank you in advance for your support and donations. By coming together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by this devastating earthquake.
