🇬🇷 Greece2,589 views
The flood hit Northside village on 27 August. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 14 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $590
• Food parcels for displaced families: $600
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,360
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
Updates from Kalliopi
Good news. Because of your gifts ($560 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
We're at 15% thanks to 13 of you. I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. More news soon.
Small update. $180 so far, the plan for bedding, blankets and mattresses is now scheduled.

Keep going, Kalliopi. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to Salem so I could bring a meal. All the best.
how is Kalliopi doing now?
Thinking of you, Kalliopi. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Heraklion!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kalliopi?
Thank you. If you're in Heraklion I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

So sorry you're going through this, Kalliopi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Sacramento donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Rooting for you, Kalliopi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Riyadh
