We lost everything in the flash flood: help the Greenfield settlement start over

Neighbors in the Greenfield settlement are rebuilding after the flash flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

Heliopolis
The flash flood hit the Greenfield settlement on 10 April. My home was one of 19 damaged, and 11 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 $650 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $230 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $105 • Tools and labor for repairs: $200 • Clean water and purification supplies: $115 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Kamal

    You're not alone. More neighborhoods should do this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Fresno.

      Sending love. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

      • Kylie A. Campbell

        So sorry you're going through this, Kamal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Houston
