The flood hit Millbrook village on 27 May. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 13 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $1,450 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $185
• Food parcels for displaced families: $280
• Roofing sheets and timber: $610
• Tools and labor for repairs: $375
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Awino. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Awino
Bedding, blankets and mattresses is $185 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Embakasi
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Nairobi. I'll ask around and let you know!
shared this with my family. Greetings from Heliopolis.
Thinking of you and your family, Awino. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
