The flood hit the Sunrise district on 17 July. My home was one of 84 damaged, and 6 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 $7,600 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,900
• Clean water and purification supplies: $520
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $810
• Food parcels for displaced families: $840
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,530
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Seo-yeon
It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $3,900, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Rochester so I could bring a meal. God bless

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Seo-yeon?
Wishing you the best, Seo-yeon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Munich but we're thinking of you. All the best.
