Flood in Saint Petersburg: help Lakeview village rebuild
Neighbors in Lakeview village are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇷🇺 Saint Petersburg, Russia2,357 views
The flood hit Lakeview village on 25 July. My home was one of 32 damaged, and 4 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 $2,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $950
• Clean water and purification supplies: $180
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $400
• Food parcels for displaced families: $450
• Tools and labor for repairs: $320
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
