The flood hit the families of Millbrook Lane on 1 June. My home was one of 71 damaged, and 8 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 $5,450 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,050 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,950 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,450 Every share and every dollar helps. - Anton

  • How is Anton doing now?

    • Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

      • What exactly is the $5,450 for?

        • Anton RichterOwnerAnswer

          Sure. The biggest one is food parcels for displaced families, $1,050. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.

      • Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal.

        • Wishing you the best, Anton. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes

          • Sending good thoughts, Anton. More neighborhoods should do this. All the best.

            • Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best.

              • Rooting for you, Anton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Newport

                • Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Munich.

                  • Sending strength, Anton. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Munich.

                    • So sorry you're going through this, Anton. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer.
