The flash flood hit the Northside neighborhood on 6 July. My home was one of 77 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $8,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,250
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,550
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,850
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,450
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Quyên. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Quyên?
Thank you. If you're in Fresno I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Good luck, Quyên. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Bhaktapur.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Praying for you, Quyên. Great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
