The flood hit Hillcrest village on 15 June. My home was one of 25 damaged, and 13 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 $1,450 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $460
• Clean water and purification supplies: $300
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $175
• Roofing sheets and timber: $515
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Althea?
Thank you. If you're in Spanish Town I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
