The flood hit the Old Town settlement on 4 July. My home was one of 70 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall. 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 $1,900 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $830 • Clean water and purification supplies: $290 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210 • Food parcels for displaced families: $340 • Tools and labor for repairs: $230 Thanks for reading all this. - Manit

    Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Saint Petersburg

      is there anything that isn't money that would help Manit?
