The flood hit the Northside neighborhood on 27 November. My home was one of 53 damaged, and 6 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 $2,850 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $560
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,550
• Tools and labor for repairs: $390
• Clean water and purification supplies: $350
Thanks for being kind about this.

hope you get there. Sent it to 12 people at work. Thinking of Feira de Santana.
Thanks for sharing this. Great idea, hope you get there. We're a small family in Mthatha but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Feira de Santana.
