The flash flood hit the families of Northside Lane on 30 September. My home was one of 32 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $8,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,250
• Clean water and purification supplies: $890
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $900
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,400
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,810
Thanks for reading all this.

This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Gulu.
What's already covered and what's the $8,250 for?
It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $3,250, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
