The flood hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 6 May. My home was one of 39 damaged, and 7 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 $2,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,300
• Clean water and purification supplies: $150
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $180
• Food parcels for displaced families: $260
• Tools and labor for repairs: $410
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you, Lungile. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Glasgow.
Thinking of you and your family, Lungile. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Praying for you, Lungile. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
