Flood in Mumbai: help the Eastgate neighborhood rebuild
After the flood, families in the Eastgate neighborhood need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India2,189 views
The flood hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 1 June. My home was one of 83 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $900 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $270
• Tools and labor for repairs: $270
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $230
• Clean water and purification supplies: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Love from Kampala.
so sorry you're going through this, Mangesh. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
