Storm in Södertälje: help the Orchard neighborhood rebuild
The storm damaged 54 homes in the Orchard neighborhood. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.
🇸🇪 Södertälje, Stockholm, Sweden5,289 views
The storm hit the Orchard neighborhood on 1 July. My home was one of 54 damaged, and 2 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 $6,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $400
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,050
• Food parcels for displaced families: $2,000
• Tools and labor for repairs: $800
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Södertälje!
Hope things get better soon, Noah. Great idea, hope you get there. Greetings from Mangaluru

best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
You're not alone, Noah. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted.
