The flood hit the families of Northside Lane on 31 August. My home was one of 44 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $5,600 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,500 • Tools and labor for repairs: $910 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $910 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,280 If you're reading this, thank you. - Mateo

      Thinking of you, Mateo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Üsküdar

      • Ethan D. Newman

        Keep going, Mateo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

        • Kumar M. Reddy

          So sorry you're going through this, Mateo. Shared this with my family. After 8 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
