Shubra flash flood relief - the Harbor neighborhood

The flash flood hit the Harbor neighborhood on 2 August. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 11 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 $900 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $75 • Clean water and purification supplies: $90 • Tools and labor for repairs: $165 • Roofing sheets and timber: $570 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Omar
