The flood hit the Northside settlement on 10 May. My home was one of 37 damaged, and 8 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $250 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $85
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $75
• Food parcels for displaced families: $90
Thanks for being kind about this.

Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Dhaka.
take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 3 people at work. Love from Kadıköy.
looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Ibadan.
Sending love, Thu. 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.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Chiang Mai.
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope it all works out, Thu. This could happen to any of us
So sorry you're going through this, Thu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Manchester but we're thinking of you. God bless.
You're not alone, Thu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from San Francisco.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Cần Thơ.
