Flood in Duisburg: help the Greenfield neighborhood rebuild
Neighbors in the Greenfield neighborhood are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The flood hit the Greenfield neighborhood on 8 July. My home was one of 50 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $6,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $480
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $490
• Food parcels for displaced families: $750
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,230
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there, Franziska. Looking forward to the next update
You're not alone, Franziska. More neighborhoods should do this.
Hang in there, Franziska. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 10 people at work. Take care.
