The flood hit Old Town village on 29 July. My home was one of 50 damaged, and 12 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 $4,450 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $970
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,300
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,180
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

How is Lei doing now?
thanks for sharing this. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
is there anything that isn't money that would help Lei?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about clean water and purification supplies, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
Thinking of you and your family. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Dundee.
Wishing you peace, Lei. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Halifax
Hope things get better soon, Lei. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
