The flood hit the Orchard district on 29 January. My home was one of 76 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $3,850 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $790
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,100
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,200
• Clean water and purification supplies: $760
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending good thoughts, Angel. 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. Blessings.
