The flood hit Northside village on 7 August. My home was one of 37 damaged, and 11 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 $950 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $120
• Food parcels for displaced families: $210
• Roofing sheets and timber: $310
• Tools and labor for repairs: $310
I hope life is good to you.

Any update on how things are going in Madurai?

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Aarti?
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Praying for you, Aarti. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Madurai.
Praying for you, Aarti. I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Liverpool
