The storm hit the Lakeview settlement on 18 June. My home was one of 73 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $3,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $320
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $590
• Food parcels for displaced families: $310
• Tools and labor for repairs: $930
I hope life is good to you.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Łódź!
Thank you. If you're in Łódź I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Hope it all works out, Paweł. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 35 people at work
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
