In the wake of the devastating floods in Valencia, cherished possessions—like a mother’s sewing machine, a grandfather’s chessboard, and a beloved typewriter—were swept away or left damaged. These objects, though ordinary to some, held years of personal history and emotional value for the families who owned them.

As the community came together to recover what was lost, CIF and LOLA MullenLowe joined the effort—not just to clean, but to restore. With care and intention, they helped revive these treasured items, turning them into powerful symbols of resilience and the emotional power of cleanliness.
