The flood hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 5 June. My home was one of 53 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,400
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,300
• Clean water and purification supplies: $650
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Levi
Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($620). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward tools and labor for repairs.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 12% funded and the plan for tools and labor for repairs is now scheduled.
