The flood hit Sunrise village on 25 August. My home was one of 55 damaged, and 10 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,200
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $570
• Food parcels for displaced families: $580
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mame?
Thank you. If you're in Saint-Étienne I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
sending good thoughts, Mame. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Great idea, hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Bogotá so I could bring a meal. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mame.
Sure. The biggest one is tools and labor for repairs, $1,200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Love from Tokyo!
Keep going. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Wiesbaden.
Rooting for you, Mame. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted
Thanks for sharing this, Mame. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Saskatoon
