The flood hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 28 August. My home was one of 74 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $3,400 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $600 • Clean water and purification supplies: $940 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,860 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Faith

          Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. After 22 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
