The storm hit the Orchard settlement on 22 March. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 11 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 $6,900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,450
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,550
• Clean water and purification supplies: $710
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,190
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best, Paul. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Paul. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Seoul.
So sorry you're going through this, Paul. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Accra.
Stay strong, Paul. Shared this with my family. Take care.
This could happen to any of us. Love from San Diego.
