The storm hit the Marketplace district on 8 May. My home was one of 60 damaged, and 14 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,400
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $300
• Food parcels for displaced families: $400
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Denisa
Good news. Because of your gifts ($654 in total) I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope it all works out, Denisa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Pune
is there anything that isn't money that would help Denisa?
Thank you. If you're in Iași I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this, Denisa. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Mumbai
Wishing you peace, Denisa. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Denisa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 25 people at work.
Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Bahir Dar.
