Among the sports personalities who are mobilizing to help the population of the cities hit by the dramatic DANA flood that hit the south-east of Spain there are also Carlos Alcaraz and his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, who have mobilized with an initiative of great social value. A gesture of solidarity to help a population devastated by the flood.
The last few days have been among the most difficult in recent Spanish history, with the DANA that has overwhelmed the south of the country, in particular the city of Valencia. Numerous victims (over 200) and missing (over 2000 people), in addition to the incalculable damage and the thousands of people displaced and forced to abandon their homes.
The Juan Carlos Ferrero Academy has decided to help those affected by the hurricane by organizing a charity auction of some t-shirts, the proceeds of which will be donated entirely to those affected by the hurricane. Both the Spanish tennis player and his coach have already given their contribution, winning their own t-shirt. The auctions start at $150 and are accessible at the following link.
The bad weather has hit several areas of Spain. After Valencia, the most affected city, the rains have also hit Barcelona, affecting the normal running of sporting events, from football to motors. A dramatic situation for Spain, exactly a couple of weeks before the Davis Cup Finals, scheduled in Malaga from November 19 to 24. An event long awaited by Spanish fans, which corresponds with the last official appearance of Rafael Nadal, but after the recent events it will no longer have that festive flavor.
Spain, all of it, is worried about the almost one hundred deaths caused by Dana in the community of Valencia. Truly tragic consequences for the population, which is rallying together to overcome the difficulties caused by the great flood. A situation that has not left Alcaraz indifferent.
The Spanish tennis player spoke about it during an interview with the French media at the Paris Rolex Masters, explaining: "I will try to help as much as I can. It is quite a complicated moment, not only for the affected provinces, but for the entire country. I hope that all this ends soon. I have seen images and videos, everything that is being talked about on social networks, none of this is pleasant for any Spanish citizen. There is still a lot of uncertainty, we need to know how much the Dana has affected, know the number of deaths and missing people. It hurts me as if I were from that city."
