🇹🇿 Dodoma, Tanzania1,469 views
The flood hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 28 July. My home was one of 21 damaged, and 2 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $700 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $140
• Food parcels for displaced families: $220
• Clean water and purification supplies: $80
• Tools and labor for repairs: $260
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Praying for you, Akinyi. Shared this with my family. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
you're not alone, Akinyi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Dodoma.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Akinyi!
Sure. The biggest one is bedding, blankets and mattresses, $140. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. Love from Jakarta Barat
Hope it all works out, Akinyi. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Rooting for you, Akinyi. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 31 people at work. Love from Adama
Thinking of you and your family, Akinyi. I hope things turn around soon
thinking of you and your family, Akinyi. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Keep going, Akinyi. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
hope you get there. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
