The flood hit the Harbor district on 22 August. My home was one of 16 damaged, and 6 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $4,650 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,700
• Clean water and purification supplies: $540
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $330
• Food parcels for displaced families: $840
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,240
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hang in there, Josefa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Moscow but we're thinking of you
You're not alone, Josefa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Eldoret.
praying for you, Josefa. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Peoria.
Hang in there, Josefa. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. God bless.
