The flood hit the Marketplace settlement on 20 December. My home was one of 41 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
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 $1,400 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $670
• Clean water and purification supplies: $70
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $145
• Food parcels for displaced families: $270
• Tools and labor for repairs: $245
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Anh?

How is Anh doing now?
Best of luck, Anh. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Anh.
Roofing sheets and timber is $670 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Good luck, Anh. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Greetings from Utrecht.

so sorry you're going through this, Anh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
