La Plata flood relief - the Greenfield neighborhood

Neighbors in the Greenfield neighborhood are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

La Plata
The flood hit the Greenfield neighborhood on 16 August. My home was one of 31 damaged, and 5 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 $2,000 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $155 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $330 • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,200 • Food parcels for displaced families: $315 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Soledad

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($85 in total) the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Hope it all works out, Soledad. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
