The cyclone hit the Millbrook settlement on 24 February. My home was one of 74 damaged, and 12 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 $1,050 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $190
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $85
• Clean water and purification supplies: $75
• Roofing sheets and timber: $700
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 19 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Stay strong. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Setagaya.
wishing you the best, Kunal. More neighborhoods should do this. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending good thoughts, Kunal. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Kunal. Great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Nagpur.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Mohammedia but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
