Rebuilding after the flood: Orchard village needs your help
After the flood, families in Orchard village need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The flood hit Orchard village on 31 July. My home was one of 75 damaged, and 11 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 $6,300 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,700
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,250
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck, Aisha. I hope things turn around soon. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
hope it all works out. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Toulon.
Hope things get better soon, Aisha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Mandaue.
Thanks for sharing this, Aisha. It takes guts to ask. Well done!
Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Toronto
So sorry you're going through this. 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
