The flood hit Harbor village on 4 June. My home was one of 56 damaged, and 4 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 $7,150 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $830
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,750
• Clean water and purification supplies: $750
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,820
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts, Agnes. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Uppsala.
How is Agnes doing now?
projects like this are what make a place worth living in. All the best
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Allentown.
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you. God bless
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
