The heatwave hit the Riverside neighborhood on 17 September. My home was one of 49 damaged, and 6 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 $750 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $320
• Food parcels for displaced families: $270
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $160
Thank you so much.

Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Bristol but we're thinking of you. God bless.
