The storm hit the Lakeview neighborhood on 16 September. My home was one of 65 damaged, and 3 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 $2,900 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $900 • Clean water and purification supplies: $170 • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,200 • Food parcels for displaced families: $630 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        keep going, Justyna. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Cluj-Napoca this morning. Love from Cluj-Napoca.

            Keep going, Justyna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 7 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
