Flood in Iași: help the Riverside district rebuild
Neighbors in the Riverside district are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇷🇴 Iași, Iași, Romania1,787 views
The flood hit the Riverside district on 21 November. My home was one of 43 damaged, and 10 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 $1,000 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $350
• Clean water and purification supplies: $125
• Food parcels for displaced families: $525
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Laura. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. All the best
you're not alone, Laura. Great idea, hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Stay strong, Laura. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
thinking of you, Laura. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Iași.
Rooting for you. More neighborhoods should do this. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
Wishing you peace, Laura. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Alicante.
keep going, Laura. Looking forward to the next update. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Tlaquepaque.
