The cyclone hit the families of Old Town Lane on 18 August. My home was one of 26 damaged, and 6 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $750 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $105
• Roofing sheets and timber: $380
• Tools and labor for repairs: $265
Glad we found this place.

keep going, Prakash. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Shreveport but we're thinking of you.
Stay strong, Prakash. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Takoradi.
good luck. Great idea, hope you get there. All the best
Keep going, Prakash. More neighborhoods should do this. Put this on a community board in Onitsha this morning. Blessings
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Bronx but we're thinking of you. Love from Bronx.
sending strength, Prakash. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Hang in there. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Sent it to 25 people at work.
hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
stay strong, Prakash. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Prakash. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Udaipur.
Good luck. Great idea, hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
