The flood hit the Hillcrest settlement on 11 September. My home was one of 61 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $1,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $530
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $195
• Food parcels for displaced families: $150
• Clean water and purification supplies: $125
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Kofi. I hope things turn around soon. After 22 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
