Flood in London: help the Greenfield neighborhood rebuild
After the flood, families in the Greenfield neighborhood need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom4,528 views
The flood hit the Greenfield neighborhood on 8 August. My home was one of 28 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church hall.
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 $5,800 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,650
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,100
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,300
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $750
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 7 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless!
sending strength. Shared this with my family. Love from Aswan.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
So sorry you're going through this, Gregory. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Port Harcourt donated after I showed her your page
