The flood hit the Northside district on 5 August. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $2,750 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $390
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $310
• Food parcels for displaced families: $530
• Tools and labor for repairs: $470
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care, Zlata. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Fort Collins donated after I showed her your page
Hope things get better soon, Zlata. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thanks for sharing this, Zlata. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
Praying for you. More neighborhoods should do this. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Zlata?
Thank you. If you're in Saint Petersburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Thanks for sharing this, Zlata. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Toronto so I could bring a meal. Love from Dhaka.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
Wishing you the best, Zlata. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Saint Petersburg!
thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 24 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Hang in there, Zlata. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
