The tornado hit the Eastgate settlement on 17 August. My home was one of 50 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $6,500 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,950
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,250
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,300
With deep gratitude,
Sandeep

Rooting for you, Sandeep. Shared this with my family. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Lviv.
You're not alone, Sandeep. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Palmira this morning. Take care.
