The flood hit the Harbor district on 14 August. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $650 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $145
• Roofing sheets and timber: $280
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $75
• Clean water and purification supplies: $150
Thank you for reading my story.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and the plan for clean water and purification supplies is now scheduled.
We're at 6% thanks to 3 of you. I made the first payment toward bedding, blankets and mattresses. More news soon.
Update from Adama: I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Adama.
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from São Paulo
Good luck, Teklu. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Good luck, Teklu. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
