The flood hit the Northside settlement on 28 August. My home was one of 22 damaged, and 4 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 $750 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $200
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $170
• Clean water and purification supplies: $85
• Roofing sheets and timber: $295
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
