The flood hit the families of Greenfield Lane on 29 July. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 14 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $780
• Clean water and purification supplies: $185
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $240
• Food parcels for displaced families: $480
• Tools and labor for repairs: $215
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Jorge
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,263 in total) I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope things get better soon, Jorge. Shared it with a few friends.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of São Paulo.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care!
Sending strength, Jorge. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My husband and I read this together
best of luck, Jorge. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of São Paulo.
Sending good thoughts, Jorge. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Mumbai.
