Flood in Santos: help the Riverside district rebuild

The flood hit the Riverside district on 13 August. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 2 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $520
• Clean water and purification supplies: $290
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $320
• Food parcels for displaced families: $310
• Tools and labor for repairs: $260
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you, Bruno. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Belém.
Stay strong, Bruno. Hope you get there. Greetings from Nairobi.
Wishing you the best. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
so sorry you're going through this. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Detroit.
