The heatwave hit the Millbrook settlement on 28 September. My home was one of 30 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $750 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $290
• Roofing sheets and timber: $290
• Food parcels for displaced families: $170
Every share and every dollar helps.

11% there. I made the first payment toward roofing sheets and timber. Thank you.
Thank you all. We're at 6% now ($42). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($67 in total) the plan for roofing sheets and timber is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Sandesh

Stay strong. Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Los Angeles.
