Flood in Incheon: help the Riverside neighborhood rebuild
Neighbors in the Riverside neighborhood are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The flood hit the Riverside neighborhood on 17 May. My home was one of 25 damaged, and 13 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $5,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,700
• Clean water and purification supplies: $460
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $710
• Food parcels for displaced families: $830
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,000
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
