The storm hit Hillcrest village on 19 February. My home was one of 75 damaged, and 4 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 $4,900 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $3,000 • Clean water and purification supplies: $580 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,320 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Campinas.

      Thinking of you and your family, Brandon. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Thủ Đức

        Sending love, Brandon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

                rooting for you, Brandon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Bristol.

                  Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
