The flood hit the Lakeview neighborhood on 25 August. My home was one of 62 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $2,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $800
• Clean water and purification supplies: $240
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $350
• Food parcels for displaced families: $165
• Tools and labor for repairs: $545
Thank you so much.

Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Wollongong.
good luck, Sergio. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Málaga.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Buenos Aires.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Saint Petersburg
