The flood hit the Millbrook neighborhood on 14 February. My home was one of 74 damaged, and 3 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $1,850 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $970 • Clean water and purification supplies: $165 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $220 • Food parcels for displaced families: $300 • Tools and labor for repairs: $195 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Njoroge

  1. Update from Kasarani: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 50% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($275 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
