The flood hit Orchard village on 29 May. My home was one of 22 damaged, and 2 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 $3,800 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,500
• Clean water and purification supplies: $310
• Tools and labor for repairs: $990
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace, Jamila. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
more neighborhoods should do this. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Stay strong, Jamila. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
hang in there, Jamila. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Syracuse.
