The flood hit the families of Old Town Lane on 9 February. My home was one of 35 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $6,650 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,900
• Clean water and purification supplies: $900
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,300
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,350
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Peter. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Pretoria.
Sending love. Hope you get there. Greetings from Thane.
Sending good thoughts, Peter. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Newcastle
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Mbarara this morning. Thinking of Düsseldorf
