The flood hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 4 September. My home was one of 66 damaged, and 7 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 $2,400 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $860
• Clean water and purification supplies: $370
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,170
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Delphine. Shared it with a few friends
Hang in there, Delphine. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best!
Thinking of you, Delphine. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Da Nang this morning. All the best
