The flash flood hit Marketplace village on 4 January. My home was one of 57 damaged, and 4 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 $6,850 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $390
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,150
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,400
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,810
With deep gratitude,
Ethan

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
any update on how things are going in Nashville?
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I hope February is when things finally get easier!
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Mapo but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Ethan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Rooting for you, Ethan. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
