Storm in Utrecht: help the Sunrise district rebuild
Neighbors in the Sunrise district are rebuilding after the storm; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇳🇱 Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands4,287 views
The storm hit the Sunrise district on 28 July. My home was one of 20 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $5,850 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,000
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $800
Thanks for being kind about this.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Utrecht
Thank you. If you're in Utrecht I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Bronx.
Good luck, Jan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
take care, Jan. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Jinja this morning. Love from Jinja
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
