The storm hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 22 November. My home was one of 88 damaged, and 6 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $6,750 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,700
• Clean water and purification supplies: $520
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $540
• Food parcels for displaced families: $990
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,000
Every share and every dollar helps.

Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Mannheim.
Best of luck, Katharina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Jeddah this morning. Blessings
rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Mannheim.
Sending strength, Katharina. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Nashik.
wishing you the best, Katharina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Birmingham.
You're not alone, Katharina. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Shared this with my family. After 17 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Aberdeen.
