The flood hit the Harbor settlement on 29 August. My home was one of 76 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $9,050 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,850
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,050
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,350
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $800
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care, Everly. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Greensboro!
Wishing you the best, Everly. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Sending strength, Everly. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Stay strong, Everly. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
what's already covered and what's the $9,050 for?
