The flash flood hit the Orchard neighborhood on 11 September. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $580
• Clean water and purification supplies: $155
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210
• Food parcels for displaced families: $145
• Tools and labor for repairs: $310

is there anything that isn't money that would help Amir?
Rooting for you, Amir. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Cairo
Hope it all works out, Amir. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you.
stay strong, Amir. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from São Paulo.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Konya.
Stay strong. Great idea, hope you get there. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Amir. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
You're not alone, Amir. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Varanasi but we're thinking of you. Love from Varanasi!
Good luck, Amir. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Ribeirão Preto donated after I showed her your page
Praying for you, Amir. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
