Flood in Atlanta: help the Millbrook district rebuild
After the flood, families in the Millbrook district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇺🇸 Atlanta, Georgia, United States1,248 views
The flood hit the Millbrook district on 12 June. My home was one of 14 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $4,050 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,150
• Clean water and purification supplies: $540
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,360
I hope life is good to you.

stay strong, Sharon. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Georgia. I'll ask around and let you know!
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Atlanta.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Atlanta
