The ice storm hit the Harbor settlement on 18 July. My home was one of 58 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $7,450 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $4,950 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $900 • Tools and labor for repairs: $960 • Clean water and purification supplies: $640 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Cameron

Updates from Cameron

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,609 in total) I made the first payment toward roofing sheets and timber. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
