Rebuilding after the flash flood: Eastgate village needs your help
Neighbors in Eastgate village are rebuilding after the flash flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇺🇸 Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States4,561 views
The flash flood hit Eastgate village on 8 March. My home was one of 61 damaged, and 12 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $9,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,400
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,150
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $930
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,200
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,320
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Saint Paul.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
what exactly is the $9,000 for?
Sure. The biggest one is roofing sheets and timber, $3,400. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Salvador but we're thinking of you. All the best
Thinking of you, Cristina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
great idea, hope you get there. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
