Sapporo
The flood hit the Northside neighborhood on 15 September. 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 $4,750 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,250 • Clean water and purification supplies: $680 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $810 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,150 • Tools and labor for repairs: $860 Thank you so much.

    Wishing you the best. More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Sapporo!

          This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Kediri donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
