Aid for German Flood Victims
Parts of Western Germany have been hit with a historical flood that has caused widespread destruction and as of now (Thursday, July 15 2021) has cost 58 lives. (source, source,

Here’s a couple links to places where you can donate. These will be in German, so make sure you have a translating tool at hand.
- Diakonie Wuppertal (social welfare, victim aid)
- Gemeinschaftsstiftung Wuppertal (social welfare, victim aid)
- Deutsche Lebensrettergesellschaft (German Lifeguard Society, buy equipment for helpers)
- Heimatcrowd Iserlohn-Lasbeck und Nachrodt-Wiblingwerde (community mutual aid)
- Technisches Hilfwerk (Federal Agency for Technical Relief, a disaster relief organisation; donations here go to them at large, not only flood victims)
- Aktion Deutschland hilft (mutual aid, helpers and victims)
- Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (German Red Cross; not the same as the US Red Cross and considerably less shitty; donations for helpers)
I pulled all of these from official news websites, so they should be legit. I will add to this post if I come across more resources.
