The storm hit the families of Harbor Lane on 13 September. My home was one of 90 damaged, and 12 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 $7,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,850
• Clean water and purification supplies: $530
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,000
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Samantha
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,434 in total) I made the first payment toward bedding, blankets and mattresses. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $2,827 raised so far (37%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
