The landslide hit the Greenfield district on 22 February. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 12 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 $950 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $105
• Tools and labor for repairs: $135
• Roofing sheets and timber: $630
• Clean water and purification supplies: $80
Glad we found this place.

This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out
Stay strong, James. This could happen to any of us. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
