The flood hit the Riverside settlement on 18 August. My home was one of 30 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $4,000 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,100
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $460
• Clean water and purification supplies: $640
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,800
I hope life is good to you.

sending strength, Easton. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Easton
Sure. The biggest one is food parcels for displaced families, $1,100. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thanks for sharing this, Easton. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Stay strong, Easton. Gave what I could, wish it was more
you're not alone, Easton. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Utrecht.
