The flood hit Lakeview village on 3 June. My home was one of 58 damaged, and 11 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 $5,800 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $330
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $990
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,400
• Tools and labor for repairs: $980
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength. Shared this with my family. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Good luck, Denise. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending good thoughts, Denise. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Miami so I could bring a meal. God bless.
