The tornado hit the Harbor neighborhood on 26 August. My home was one of 58 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $7,350 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,950
• Clean water and purification supplies: $900
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $740
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,550
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Keep going, Lydia. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Lydia. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update.
This could happen to any of us. After 14 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
