Haarlem
The flood hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 12 September. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $5,650 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,550 • Clean water and purification supplies: $640 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,400 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,150 • Tools and labor for repairs: $910 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Tess. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings

    • Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

          Good luck, Tess. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Munich but we're thinking of you. Take care.
