The flash flood hit the Orchard neighborhood on 17 March. My home was one of 67 damaged, and 13 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 $6,200 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,700 • Clean water and purification supplies: $1,050 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $990 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,350 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,110 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Abril!

      • Abril M. NúñezOwnerAnswer

        Roofing sheets and timber is $1,700 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.

      Thinking of you, Abril. This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Kraków.

        rooting for you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out
