Storm in Augsburg: help Lakeview village rebuild
Neighbors in Lakeview village are rebuilding after the storm; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇩🇪 Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany1,995 views
The storm hit Lakeview village on 26 July. My home was one of 13 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $4,550 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,150
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $410
• Food parcels for displaced families: $890
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon. Great idea, hope you get there. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Serkan. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Serkan?
Thank you. If you're in Augsburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Karachi donated after I showed her your page
Wishing you peace, Serkan. Great idea, hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Serkan. More neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 5 people at work. Take care!
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Serkan.
Sure. The biggest one is bedding, blankets and mattresses, $1,150. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
Hope this works out for you. After 21 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Barcelona so I could bring a meal.
Hope it all works out, Serkan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best!
Best of luck, Serkan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Love from Jakarta.
stay strong, Serkan. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Joliet!
hope this works out for you. Sent it to 13 people at work. Blessings.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength, Serkan. Shared it with a few friends.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Augsburg
Hope things get better soon, Serkan. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings!
Sending good thoughts, Serkan. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Sending love, Serkan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Los Angeles.
