Rebuilding after the flood: the Riverside settlement needs your help
After the flood, families in the Riverside settlement need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇲🇽 Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico2,758 views
The flood hit the Riverside settlement on 4 April. My home was one of 28 damaged, and 7 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 $2,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $260
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $400
• Food parcels for displaced families: $230
• Tools and labor for repairs: $260
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Tijuana
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Rennes.
Wishing you peace, Amparo. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Tallahassee.
Any update on how things are going in Tijuana?
thinking of you, Amparo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 23 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
What's already covered and what's the $2,200 for?
stay strong, Amparo. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Tijuana.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Rajkot.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Sending love, Amparo. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
