The cyclone hit Orchard village on 16 August. My home was one of 51 damaged, and 14 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 $6,650 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,650
• Clean water and purification supplies: $520
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,100
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,550
• Tools and labor for repairs: $830
Thank you for reading my story.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Yang?
Thank you. If you're in Newcastle I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending good thoughts, Yang. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.

Good luck, Yang. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
