Flood in Coyoacán: help the Millbrook district rebuild
After the flood, families in the Millbrook district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The flood hit the Millbrook district on 13 February. My home was one of 80 damaged, and 2 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 $2,350 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $740
• Clean water and purification supplies: $220
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $380
• Food parcels for displaced families: $480
• Tools and labor for repairs: $530
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

how is Eduardo doing now?
Stay strong, Eduardo. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eduardo.
Sending good thoughts, Eduardo. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Coyoacán.
looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Eduardo?
Thank you. If you're in Coyoacán I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope things get better soon, Eduardo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings!
Rooting for you, Eduardo. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Take care, Eduardo. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Love from Dublin.
Rooting for you, Eduardo. Shared this with my family. Blessings!
