The flood hit the Riverside district on 29 July. My home was one of 42 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $2,600 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,000 • Clean water and purification supplies: $290 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $300 • Food parcels for displaced families: $510 • Tools and labor for repairs: $500 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Camila

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Camila?

        Thank you. If you're in Guadalajara I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.

    • Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

      • sending good thoughts, Camila. Hope you get there. Blessings.

        • sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Salvador.

          • everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Guadalajara.
