We lost everything in the flood: help the Hillcrest settlement start over
The flood damaged 87 homes in the Hillcrest settlement. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.

The flood hit the Hillcrest settlement on 20 October. My home was one of 87 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $2,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $195
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $280
• Food parcels for displaced families: $320
• Tools and labor for repairs: $355
Thanks for reading all this.

Stay strong, Gustavo. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Warri so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of San Miguel de Tucumán
Take care. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Best of luck, Gustavo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Hang in there, Gustavo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
thinking of you and your family, Gustavo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Wishing you peace, Gustavo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 30 people at work.
Good luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Sent it to 12 people at work. Thinking of San Miguel de Tucumán.
Wishing you the best, Gustavo. I hope things turn around soon
Wishing you the best. More neighborhoods should do this. Love from Paris
