The hurricane hit Sunrise village on 27 July. My home was one of 61 damaged, and 11 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 $3,600 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,550
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,650
• Clean water and purification supplies: $400
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
hope this works out for you. Sent it to 37 people at work.
