The flood hit the families of Riverside Lane on 31 October. My home was one of 70 damaged, and 13 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 $8,200 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $980 • Clean water and purification supplies: $1,100 • Food parcels for displaced families: $2,100 • Roofing sheets and timber: $4,020 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Ezra

      Thinking of you, Ezra. I hope things turn around soon. After 14 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

      • Amna Rukhsar OrakzaiQuestion

        what's already covered and what's the $8,200 for?

        • Ezra B. NealOwnerAnswer

          Sure. The biggest one is tools and labor for repairs, $980. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

        Thinking of you and your family. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
