The flood hit Old Town village on 9 January. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 2 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 $2,100 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $580 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,000 • Food parcels for displaced families: $520 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Dalia

Updates from Dalia

  1. Quick update: $847 raised so far (40%). I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($639 in total) the plan for clean water and purification supplies is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($365 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Stay strong, Dalia. More neighborhoods should do this. Put this on a community board in Karachi this morning. Take care.

        Is there anything that isn't money that would help Dalia?
