The tornado hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 21 January. My home was one of 80 damaged, and 5 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 $5,550 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $950
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,950
• Clean water and purification supplies: $860
• Tools and labor for repairs: $790
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Boulogne-Billancourt.
sending good thoughts, Yusuf. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lafayette!
Good luck, Yusuf. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Lafayette.
Hang in there, Yusuf. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Lafayette
great idea, hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
