The flood hit Greenfield village on 22 April. My home was one of 49 damaged, and 12 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,200 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $260 • Tools and labor for repairs: $165 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $145 • Roofing sheets and timber: $630 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Divya

      Stay strong. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
