Flood in Paris: help the Millbrook district rebuild
Neighbors in the Millbrook district are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France1,406 views
The flood hit the Millbrook district on 6 September. My home was one of 85 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,150
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $950
• Clean water and purification supplies: $800
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Romain!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Paris.
So sorry you're going through this, Romain. Your post was clear and honest. After 9 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Sending love, Romain. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Yekaterinburg.
Thinking of you and your family, Romain. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
