The cyclone hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 20 August. My home was one of 35 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $500 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $180
• Clean water and purification supplies: $100
• Roofing sheets and timber: $220
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love, Rafiq. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Nottingham
