The storm hit the Hillcrest settlement on 30 September. My home was one of 64 damaged, and 8 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 $6,350 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,600
• Clean water and purification supplies: $760
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,000
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,600
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,390
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this, Jade. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Auckland.
Keep going, Jade. Shared this with my family. Thinking of London
Sending good thoughts. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Sent it to 21 people at work
Thinking of you and your family, Jade. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Greetings from Auckland.
Praying for you, Jade. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Los Angeles.
Keep going, Jade. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
So sorry you're going through this, Jade. More neighborhoods should do this. Blessings
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
