The flood hit the families of Orchard Lane on 11 February. My home was one of 63 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $6,900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,600
• Clean water and purification supplies: $700
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $510
• Food parcels for displaced families: $800
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,290
Thanks for being kind about this.

hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you peace, Luna. More neighborhoods should do this. My husband and I read this together
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Kazan.
shared it with a few friends. Love from Machakos
Sending good thoughts, Luna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Radom but we're thinking of you. Love from Radom.
