The flood hit the Orchard neighborhood on 31 May. My home was one of 90 damaged, and 10 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $240
• Clean water and purification supplies: $110
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Recep.
It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $1,200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 25 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
