The flood hit the Millbrook neighborhood on 4 July. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $1,050 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $110 • Roofing sheets and timber: $470 • Food parcels for displaced families: $240 • Tools and labor for repairs: $230 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Farah

  1. Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($356). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. We're at 24% thanks to 7 of you. the plan for bedding, blankets and mattresses is now scheduled. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($170 in total) I made the first payment toward bedding, blankets and mattresses. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
