The hurricane hit the families of Orchard Lane on 18 September. My home was one of 46 damaged, and 13 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $6,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,200
• Clean water and purification supplies: $690
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $780
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,350
• Tools and labor for repairs: $980
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon, Isaiah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Rochester.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Rochester
Sending strength, Isaiah. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Rochester
praying for you. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
shared this with my family. Don't give up. Greetings from Kyiv
