The flood hit the Millbrook neighborhood on 8 June. My home was one of 13 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $4,650 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,050 • Clean water and purification supplies: $650 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $370 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,000 • Tools and labor for repairs: $580 Glad we found this place. - Daniel

    • Hang in there, Daniel. More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Magelang.

      • Is roofing sheets and timber the biggest cost or is there more coming?

        • Daniel RodríguezOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          Roofing sheets and timber is $2,050 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.

      • Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of San Sebastián!

        • A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Basque Country. I'll ask around and let you know.

          • Hang in there, Daniel. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
