Cologne flood relief - the Lakeview settlement
Neighbors in the Lakeview settlement are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The flood hit the Lakeview settlement on 21 September. My home was one of 63 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $5,200 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,500
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,150
• Food parcels for displaced families: $550
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jonas?
Thank you. If you're in Cologne I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
sending good thoughts, Jonas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in London this morning. Greetings from London.
