The flood hit the Greenfield district on 6 May. My home was one of 25 damaged, and 4 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 $650 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $145
• Roofing sheets and timber: $340
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $85
• Clean water and purification supplies: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jannat
Food parcels for displaced families is $145 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Sending good thoughts, Jannat. Great idea, hope you get there. I hope August is when things finally get easier
best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. All the best
Sending good thoughts, Jannat. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Lahore
Praying for you, Jannat. Shared it with a few friends. After 22 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Wrocław.
your post was clear and honest. Love from Aurangabad.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Rawalpindi.
you're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Dhaka.
Wishing you peace, Jannat. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Houston so I could bring a meal.
Hope things get better soon, Jannat. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer.
sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Knoxville.
Keep going, Jannat. Looking forward to the next update
