Spain is currently reeling from unprecedented floods that have resulted in over 200 confirmed deaths and nearly 2,000 missing individuals in Valencia. The catastrophic weather event, described as the worst flooding in decades, saw a year's worth of rainfall fall within just eight hours. Tottenham defender Pedro Porro, expressing deep sorrow for the devastation in his homeland, has committed to donating part of his weekly wages of £66,000 to support relief efforts. This decision comes as he grapples with a sense of helplessness while being away from Spain. During a recent match, both Tottenham and Aston Villa players donned black armbands to honor the victims of the flood. Porro emphasized his desire to contribute physically but felt constrained by his football obligations in England. His initiative to donate will help provide essential supplies and support the clean-up operations in the affected areas.
