The storm hit the families of Greenfield Lane on 8 September. My home was one of 76 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $2,850 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $800
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $950
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts, Romane. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
How is Romane doing now?
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Romane?
Thank you. If you're in Paris I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
keep going, Romane. Great idea, hope you get there. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Romane. Shared this with my family. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Great idea, hope you get there. Love from Fort Worth
is food parcels for displaced families the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Food parcels for displaced families is $800 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.

You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you the best, Romane. More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Embakasi
more neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 12 people at work
