The flood hit the Millbrook neighborhood on 27 August. My home was one of 41 damaged, and 6 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $850 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $300 • Tools and labor for repairs: $350 • Food parcels for displaced families: $200 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Beatriz

    • Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Cali.

      • Hope it all works out. More neighborhoods should do this. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Savar
