Kumasi
The storm hit the Riverside district on 4 September. My home was one of 46 damaged, and 7 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $950 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $125 • Tools and labor for repairs: $230 • Roofing sheets and timber: $595 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Vida

          Food parcels for displaced families is $125 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
