Rebuilding after the winter storm: the Northside district needs your help
After the winter storm, families in the Northside district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States922 views
The winter storm hit the Northside district on 5 June. My home was one of 67 damaged, and 10 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 $5,200 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,450
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,750
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,000
Every share and every dollar helps.

Praying for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up. Love from Saskatoon.
hang in there. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Surabaya donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Surabaya.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
You're not alone, Mason. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Kassel.
Thinking of you and your family, Mason. More neighborhoods should do this. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
more neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 21 people at work. Take care.
Sending love, Mason. This could happen to any of us
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Mason. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
Hope this works out for you. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from London
rooting for you, Mason. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
