The flash flood hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 15 July. My home was one of 45 damaged, and 14 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 $6,850 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,750
• Clean water and purification supplies: $690
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $770
• Food parcels for displaced families: $620
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,020
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Wishing you the best, Hương. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hương?
Hang in there, Hương. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Santos.
Take care, Hương. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
how is Hương doing now?
thinking of you, Hương. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending strength, Hương. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Casablanca donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Casablanca.
Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City
