Flood in Barranquilla: help the Northside settlement rebuild
After the flood, families in the Northside settlement need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇨🇴 Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia1,872 views
The flood hit the Northside settlement on 10 June. My home was one of 62 damaged, and 9 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 $2,050 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,000
• Clean water and purification supplies: $160
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210
• Food parcels for displaced families: $290
• Tools and labor for repairs: $390
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Silvia. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
So sorry you're going through this, Silvia. Shared this with my family. Love from Mumbai.
Hope it all works out. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Dallas.
Best of luck, Silvia. Hope you get there
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
