The flood hit the Northside settlement on 2 September. My home was one of 27 damaged, and 4 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $2,050 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $370 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $360 • Roofing sheets and timber: $980 • Clean water and purification supplies: $340 Thank you for reading my story. - Fabiana

    Shared this with my family. After 25 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

            Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 20 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
