The flood hit the Lakeview neighborhood on 1 August. My home was one of 67 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $2,000 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $370
• Food parcels for displaced families: $350
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,280
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in São Paulo but we're thinking of you
Sending love. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
