The flood hit the Hillcrest district on 3 June. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $2,850 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $910 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,200 • Tools and labor for repairs: $740 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    • Wayne H. GuerreroOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about clean water and purification supplies, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.

  • Hope things get better soon, Wayne. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer

    • do you have the damage assessment you could share with the moderators?

      • Wayne H. GuerreroOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        I do, the damage assessment is with the HelpBLESS team. Happy to answer anything else about it. It helps to be asked.

    • You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

      • How is Wayne doing now?

        • So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless

          • Arda ArslanQuestion

            Can you break down where the money goes? Want to know before I give!

            • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything

              • Ngọc NguyenID verifiedPhoto verified

                Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Ottawa.

                • Praying for you, Wayne. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
