The flood hit the Lakeview neighborhood on 21 August. My home was one of 76 damaged, and 9 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 $6,100 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,250
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,750
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,100
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck, Roman. This could happen to any of us
Thinking of you and your family, Roman. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Belfast.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We're a small family in Guarulhos but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Guarulhos.
I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Hope things get better soon, Roman. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
