The flood hit the Old Town neighborhood on 6 September. My home was one of 30 damaged, and 3 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 $6,400 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,350
• Clean water and purification supplies: $620
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $930
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,400
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,100

Rooting for you, Birgit. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Rochester but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Best of luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
