The flood hit Northside village on 24 August. My home was one of 63 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall. 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 $1,950 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $170 • Tools and labor for repairs: $570 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $180 • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,030 I hope life is good to you. - Daniel

      • stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Salvador

        • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Daniel!

          • It's all in the list in the story. clean water and purification supplies is the big one at $170, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.

        • It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Ottawa!

          • shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!

              Stay strong. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
