The flood hit Riverside village on 24 May. My home was one of 23 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $2,450 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $750
• Clean water and purification supplies: $200
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,500
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Simone
Good news. Because of your gifts ($474 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $276 so far, I made the first payment toward roofing sheets and timber.

Thinking of you, Simone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best
what's already covered and what's the $2,450 for?
Tools and labor for repairs is $750 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
Sending love, Simone. I hope things turn around soon.
hang in there, Simone. Your post was clear and honest. Love from İzmir.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
