Amsterdam flood relief - the Northside district

Neighbors in the Northside district are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The flood hit the Northside district on 21 August. My home was one of 22 damaged, and 3 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 $4,950 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $760 • Tools and labor for repairs: $650 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $820 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,720 Thanks for reading all this.

        What's already covered and what's the $4,950 for?

        • Awa DiopOwnerAnswer

          Clean water and purification supplies is $760 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
