The storm hit the families of Marketplace Lane on 7 May. My home was one of 13 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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 $6,200 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,850 • Clean water and purification supplies: $310 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,650 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,390 Thank you for reading my story.

    can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Wiesbaden

    • Hans HornOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Wiesbaden I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.

  • Lukman Andi Lubis

    thinking of you and your family, Hans. More neighborhoods should do this. I'll check back for the next update.

    • Luna J. Radcliffe

      Thinking of you and your family. Great idea, 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. God bless

      • Rashid Talha Jilani

        Sending strength, Hans. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

        • Janhavi Joshi

          So sorry you're going through this, Hans. Shared it with a few friends.

          • Malak Duha Kamel

            Keep going, Hans. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal. All the best.
