The flood hit the Marketplace district on 18 July. My home was one of 51 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $1,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $380
• Food parcels for displaced families: $175
• Tools and labor for repairs: $260
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $285
With deep gratitude,
Carmela

Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Great idea, hope you get there. Please keep us posted. God bless!
Take care, Carmela. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Knoxville so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Bacoor.
Stay strong, Carmela. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best!
