Dwarka
The cyclone hit the Orchard district on 1 June. My home was one of 86 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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 $800 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $80 • Roofing sheets and timber: $400 • Food parcels for displaced families: $140 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $180 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
