The flood hit the families of Millbrook Lane on 13 August. My home was one of 26 damaged, and 9 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 $1,400 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $260 • Food parcels for displaced families: $490 • Clean water and purification supplies: $270 • Tools and labor for repairs: $380 Thanks for reading all this. - Daniela

  • Hang in there, Daniela. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from New York

    • Take care. I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

      • Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. After 13 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Iztapalapa.

        • Sending strength, Daniela. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
