Minneapolis flood relief - the Riverside district
Neighbors in the Riverside district are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The flood hit the Riverside district on 24 July. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 9 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $5,600 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,050
• Tools and labor for repairs: $970
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,350
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,230
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there, Victoria. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Moscow so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Minneapolis.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Dodoma.
