The flood hit Northside village on 5 June. My home was one of 85 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $1,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $620
• Clean water and purification supplies: $105
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $80
• Food parcels for displaced families: $125
• Tools and labor for repairs: $170
I hope life is good to you.

Take care, Getachew. More neighborhoods should do this. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Getachew
Roofing sheets and timber is $620 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Keep going, Getachew. Great idea, hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier!
thinking of you, Getachew. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care

Praying for you, Getachew. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best
