The flood hit Greenfield village on 17 August. My home was one of 70 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. 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 $2,350 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $600 • Tools and labor for repairs: $790 • Food parcels for displaced families: $960 Every share and every dollar helps.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($409). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled.

          Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
