The heatwave hit the Orchard district on 7 September. My home was one of 57 damaged, and 9 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $800 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $340
• Clean water and purification supplies: $55
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $90
• Food parcels for displaced families: $85
• Tools and labor for repairs: $230
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending strength, Tariq. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Edinburgh.
Wishing you the best, Tariq. Great idea, hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Tariq. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. God bless
Keep going, Tariq. More neighborhoods should do this.
