6th of October City
The flash flood hit the Millbrook district on 29 June. My home was one of 90 damaged, and 11 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 $1,400 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $690 • Clean water and purification supplies: $70 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $120 • Food parcels for displaced families: $240 • Tools and labor for repairs: $280 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Rasha

                  Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rasha!

                  • Rasha Salma IsmailOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

                    Sure. The biggest one is roofing sheets and timber, $690. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
