Flash flood in Columbus: help the Marketplace settlement rebuild

Neighbors in the Marketplace settlement are rebuilding after the flash flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The flash flood hit the Marketplace settlement on 10 April. My home was one of 70 damaged, and 13 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $4,100 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $450 • Tools and labor for repairs: $2,400 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,250 If you're reading this, thank you.

    You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

      So sorry you're going through this, Young-ho. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal.
