Rohini
The cyclone hit the Riverside district on 15 December. My home was one of 47 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. 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 $900 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $140 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210 • Roofing sheets and timber: $550 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Hope things get better soon. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

      So sorry you're going through this, Naveen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from San Fernando.

      • hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!

        • Thinking of you, Naveen. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Suwon

            • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything
