Rebuilding after the flash flood: Lakeview village needs your help
Neighbors in Lakeview village are rebuilding after the flash flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The flash flood hit Lakeview village on 26 November. My home was one of 38 damaged, and 8 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 $700 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $140
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210
• Roofing sheets and timber: $350
Thank you for reading my story.

Rooting for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
Sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Kazan so I could bring a meal.
