Palermo
The flood hit Millbrook village on 12 June. My home was one of 12 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $3,000 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,600 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $620 • Food parcels for displaced families: $780 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

            It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Riyadh so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Wollongong.

              Rooting for you, Salvatore. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Córdoba but we're thinking of you
