The flood hit Northside village on 2 July. My home was one of 53 damaged, and 9 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $560
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $770
• Food parcels for displaced families: $890
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,080
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Good luck. Great idea, hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Take care. This could happen to any of us. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you and your family, Mi-sook. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Mi-sook. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Thika so I could bring a meal. Take care.
