Neighbors in Sunrise village are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The flood hit Sunrise village on 27 July. My home was one of 15 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
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 $3,850 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,650
• Clean water and purification supplies: $650
• Tools and labor for repairs: $550
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Serena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending love, Serena. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Sending love. Great idea, hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Aurora.
