The cyclone hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 20 August. My home was one of 29 damaged, and 9 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $610
• Clean water and purification supplies: $110
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $160
• Food parcels for displaced families: $240
• Tools and labor for repairs: $130
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care!
Wishing you peace, Usha. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
thinking of you, Usha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Thinking of Coimbatore.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 22 people at work. Blessings
Hang in there, Usha. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
