The flood hit the Lakeview settlement on 14 August. My home was one of 17 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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 $2,350 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $790 • Clean water and purification supplies: $420 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $610 • Food parcels for displaced families: $220 • Tools and labor for repairs: $310 I hope life is good to you.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Aleksandra?

      Thank you. If you're in Katowice I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

  • Sending strength, Aleksandra. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up. Greetings from Nottingham

    • Stay strong, Aleksandra. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer

      • Hope it all works out. 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. Love from Phoenix.

              • Thinking of you and your family, Aleksandra. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
