The flash flood hit the Riverside neighborhood on 24 August. My home was one of 47 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $8,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,550
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,150
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,000
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,300
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace, Josefa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Sending love, Josefa. Great idea, hope you get there.
Take care, Josefa. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. God bless
hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of San Jose.
more neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Móstoles so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Gujranwala.
Thinking of you, Josefa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted
