🇰🇪 Nairobi, Kenya877 views
The flood hit the families of Northside Lane on 7 August. My home was one of 41 damaged, and 5 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 $1,200 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $320
• Clean water and purification supplies: $125
• Tools and labor for repairs: $350
• Roofing sheets and timber: $405
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

wishing you peace. More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Kingston so I could bring a meal. God bless.
