Medellín flood relief - the Millbrook neighborhood
Neighbors in the Millbrook neighborhood are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The flood hit the Millbrook neighborhood on 23 June. My home was one of 23 damaged, and 11 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $480
• Clean water and purification supplies: $175
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $250
• Food parcels for displaced families: $550
• Tools and labor for repairs: $245
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
Wishing you the best, Susana. Hope you get there.
Thanks for sharing this, Susana. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Seoul
