The ice storm hit the Marketplace district on 6 June. My home was one of 73 damaged, and 14 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 $7,450 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,550 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $610 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,100 • Roofing sheets and timber: $4,190 With deep gratitude, Brielle

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. food parcels for displaced families is the biggest at $1,550. Let me know if you want more detail.

      Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Mumbai
