Rebuilding after the flood: the Greenfield settlement needs your help
Neighbors in the Greenfield settlement are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇯🇵 Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan3,396 views
The flood hit the Greenfield settlement on 19 June. My home was one of 70 damaged, and 13 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $4,050 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,750
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $830
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,470
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Shinjuku.
Thank you. If you're in Shinjuku I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Sending strength, Tatsuya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Johannesburg donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Johannesburg.
good luck, Tatsuya. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 26 people at work. Greetings from Pune.
