Rebuilding after the flood: the Hillcrest neighborhood needs your help

The flood hit the Hillcrest neighborhood on 30 July. My home was one of 39 damaged, and 4 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 $9,750 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,200
• Clean water and purification supplies: $920
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,400
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,350
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,880
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 32 people at work. All the best
how is Dong-hyun doing now?
stay strong, Dong-hyun. Hope this works out for you. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
great idea, hope you get there. We're a small family in Campinas but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Thinking of you, Dong-hyun. Great idea, hope you get there. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Tucson
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
