Flood in Arlington: help the Eastgate neighborhood rebuild
The flood damaged 84 homes in the Eastgate neighborhood. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.

The flood hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 17 September. My home was one of 84 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $9,350 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,000
• Clean water and purification supplies: $900
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,500
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,900
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,050
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Eva
Good news. Because of your gifts ($4,317 in total) I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Rooting for you, Eva. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
praying for you, Eva. More neighborhoods should do this. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Eva. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
sending strength. Great idea, hope you get there. Thinking of Arlington
