The flash flood hit Greenfield village on 10 January. My home was one of 83 damaged, and 14 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 $5,400 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $4,150 • Clean water and purification supplies: $760 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $490 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • How is Cora doing now?

    • More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Bandung so I could bring a meal. God bless.

      • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Stockholm

                    Sure. The biggest one is roofing sheets and timber, $4,150. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.

                • Sending good thoughts, Cora. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

                  • Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. After 9 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Tampa.

                    • Great idea, hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

                      • Great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                        • Good luck, Cora. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Tampa

                          • Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings

                            • Take care, Cora. More neighborhoods should do this. My husband and I read this together

                                Hope it all works out, Cora. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
