The flood hit the Northside neighborhood on 6 August. My home was one of 67 damaged, and 9 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 $2,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $980
• Clean water and purification supplies: $120
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $360
• Food parcels for displaced families: $510
• Tools and labor for repairs: $280
Thank you so much.

hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to Belfast so I could bring a meal. Love from Hyderabad.
Sending good thoughts, Arda. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
stay strong, Arda. More neighborhoods should do this. Take care!
Sending love, Arda. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 28 people at work.
