We lost everything in the storm: help the Riverside neighborhood start over
Neighbors in the Riverside neighborhood are rebuilding after the storm; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇳🇱 Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands4,304 views
The storm hit the Riverside neighborhood on 12 May. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 3 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $6,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,900
• Clean water and purification supplies: $410
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,100
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,150
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,440
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Noor
Update from Amsterdam: I made the first payment toward tools and labor for repairs. We're at 62% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 41% funded and the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled.
15% there. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

Sending good thoughts, Noor. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Amsterdam
More neighborhoods should do this. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Sending strength, Noor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Quezon City
