The flood hit the Eastgate district on 17 April. My home was one of 64 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $5,450 goes: โ€ข Roofing sheets and timber: $2,550 โ€ข Clean water and purification supplies: $610 โ€ข Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $900 โ€ข Food parcels for displaced families: $770 โ€ข Tools and labor for repairs: $620 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Eun-woo

  • What's already covered and what's the $5,450 for?

    • Eun-woo ChaOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Roofing sheets and timber is $2,550 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Best of luck, Eun-woo. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

    • Good luck. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

      • Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up.

        • it takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care

          • Keep going, Eun-woo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
