Flash flood in Sacramento: help the Harbor district rebuild
After the flash flood, families in the Harbor district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States1,910 views
The flash flood hit the Harbor district on 6 September. My home was one of 68 damaged, and 10 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $5,750 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,000
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,200
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $550
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Aarón. Great idea, hope you get there. Sent it to 34 people at work
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Stay strong, Aarón. This could happen to any of us
Take care, Aarón. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Love from Kampala!
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings

You're not alone, Aarón. 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. Thinking of Sacramento.
