The river erosion hit the Greenfield district on 4 September. My home was one of 67 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $420
• Clean water and purification supplies: $95
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $100
• Food parcels for displaced families: $130
• Tools and labor for repairs: $155
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Jessore.
best of luck, Rina. Your post was clear and honest. God bless
take care. More neighborhoods should do this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Bakersfield.
sending love, Rina. More neighborhoods should do this. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Jessore.
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Jessore.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
Good luck, Rina. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Jessore.
