Flood in Granada: help Old Town village rebuild
After the flood, families in Old Town village need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇪🇸 Granada, Andalusia, Spain1,976 views
The flood hit Old Town village on 17 August. My home was one of 73 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $2,150 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $990
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $900
• Clean water and purification supplies: $260
Thank you so much.
