The flood hit Old Town village on 2 January. My home was one of 50 damaged, and 4 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 $4,700 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,750
• Clean water and purification supplies: $870
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,550
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $530
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck, Eduardo. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Love from Comilla
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope March is when things finally get easier. God bless
