Flood in Girona: help the Orchard district rebuild
Neighbors in the Orchard district are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇪🇸 Girona, Catalonia, Spain4,174 views
The flood hit the Orchard district on 29 July. My home was one of 61 damaged, and 4 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 $3,550 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $700
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,050
• Food parcels for displaced families: $440
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $360
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,854 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
