The cyclone hit the Harbor district on 26 June. My home was one of 31 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $7,050 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,300
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $750
• Clean water and purification supplies: $630
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,370
Glad we found this place.

Take care, Raymond. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Raymond. More neighborhoods should do this. Take care.
Hang in there, Raymond. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
