The flood hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 19 September. My home was one of 32 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $5,500 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $370
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,050
• Food parcels for displaced families: $980
With deep gratitude,
Sarah

shared this with my family. Thinking of Manchester
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Warsaw
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Colombo so I could bring a meal. Love from Kraków.
Stay strong, Sarah. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Manila donated after I showed her your page.
Sending love, Sarah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
rooting for you, Sarah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. Love from Medina
Sending love, Sarah. This could happen to any of us. All the best!
Good luck, Sarah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Wishing you the best, Sarah. Hope you get there
