The cyclone hit the Old Town settlement on 11 February. My home was one of 86 damaged, and 10 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $65
• Clean water and purification supplies: $130
• Food parcels for displaced families: $280
• Roofing sheets and timber: $525
With deep gratitude,
Rajeshwari

Shared this with my family. After 19 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Stay strong, Rajeshwari. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
More neighborhoods should do this. I hope May is when things finally get easier
Sending love, Rajeshwari. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
