Leeds
The storm hit the Millbrook district on 17 July. My home was one of 84 damaged, and 11 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $6,300 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $3,650 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,050 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,600 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Gabriel

  1. Update from Leeds: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 43% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Update from Leeds: the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($935 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
