Rebuilding after the building collapse: the Harbor district needs your help
After the building collapse, families in the Harbor district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The building collapse hit the Harbor district on 2 September. My home was one of 67 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $195
• Roofing sheets and timber: $260
• Clean water and purification supplies: $95
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
