🇧🇷 Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil924 views
The flood hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 18 August. My home was one of 55 damaged, and 10 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $410
• Food parcels for displaced families: $330
• Tools and labor for repairs: $280
• Clean water and purification supplies: $130
I hope life is good to you.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Porto Alegre!
Thank you. If you're in Porto Alegre I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Rooting for you, Anderson. More neighborhoods should do this. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
stay strong, Anderson. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Sending strength, Anderson. Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Good luck. Hope you get there. Greetings from Durham.
Stay strong, Anderson. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Derry
thanks for sharing this, Anderson. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't give up. Love from Ekurhuleni.
Thinking of you, Anderson. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Thinking of you, Anderson. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
keep going, Anderson. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Blessings
Stay strong, Anderson. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Porto Alegre
Best of luck, Anderson. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
so sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. After 24 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
keep going, Anderson. More neighborhoods should do this. God bless
