The flood hit the Orchard settlement on 5 July. My home was one of 90 damaged, and 2 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 $5,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,250
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,900
• Food parcels for displaced families: $490
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $460
Thank you so much.
Updates from Rémi
Good news. Because of your gifts ($336 in total) the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
