The flood hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 13 August. My home was one of 50 damaged, and 6 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $155
• Food parcels for displaced families: $560
• Clean water and purification supplies: $320
• Tools and labor for repairs: $565
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Porto Alegre.
Thank you. If you're in Porto Alegre I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Porto Alegre
Thanks for sharing this. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. God bless
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
What's already covered and what's the $1,600 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. bedding, blankets and mattresses comes first ($155) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
hope it all works out, Sandra. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
how is Sandra doing now?
Great idea, hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care!
Wishing you peace, Sandra. Shared this with my family. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
More neighborhoods should do this. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Porto Alegre.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 23 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Take care. Great idea, hope you get there. After 23 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
