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

The flash flood damaged 37 homes in the Marketplace settlement. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.

The flash flood hit the Marketplace settlement on 14 May. My home was one of 37 damaged, and 5 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $8,850 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $3,200 • Clean water and purification supplies: $1,050 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,150 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,800 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,650 Glad we found this place. - Tiffany

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Tiffany?
