Flood in Tacoma: help the Eastgate settlement rebuild

The flood hit the Eastgate settlement on 19 August. My home was one of 33 damaged, and 10 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 $9,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,500
• Clean water and purification supplies: $960
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $810
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,780
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Micah?
Thank you. If you're in Tacoma I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
What exactly is the $9,250 for?
Roofing sheets and timber is $4,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
wishing you peace, Micah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
so sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from San Fernando
looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Tacoma
