The flood hit the Sunrise settlement on 8 June. My home was one of 53 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $7,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,250
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $780
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,250
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,320
I hope life is good to you.

Sending love, Salvador. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in
Wishing you the best, Salvador. I hope things turn around soon. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Gwagwalada.
