Rebuilding after the flood: the Eastgate district needs your help
After the flood, families in the Eastgate district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇳🇱 Netherlands4,733 views
The flood hit the Eastgate district on 31 January. My home was one of 80 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $5,350 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $660
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,950
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,740
With deep gratitude,
Yvonne

Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Best of luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal.
Good luck, Yvonne. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Amsterdam.
Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Saint-Denis
Thinking of you and your family, Yvonne. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hope things get better soon, Yvonne. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
