The flood hit Northside village on 18 January. My home was one of 73 damaged, and 3 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 $6,950 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,700
• Clean water and purification supplies: $510
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $970
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,850
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,920
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Thinking of Albany
keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings!
Hope it all works out, Hùng. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hùng!
Roofing sheets and timber is $1,700 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
rooting for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in!
good luck. Hope this works out for you. Love from Sacramento.
