The cyclone hit Eastgate village on 2 June. My home was one of 56 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $6,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,550
• Clean water and purification supplies: $710
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $810
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,050
• Tools and labor for repairs: $980
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gold Coast
Thank you. If you're in Gold Coast I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Addis Ababa.
Hang in there, Thomas. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 17 people at work. Thinking of Gold Coast
sending love, Thomas. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Hialeah

Sending strength, Thomas. Hope this works out for you.
