The cyclone hit the Old Town settlement on 22 July. My home was one of 42 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $650 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $80
• Tools and labor for repairs: $180
• Roofing sheets and timber: $390
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Neha
It's all in the list in the story. bedding, blankets and mattresses is the big one at $80, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Take care, Neha. This could happen to any of us.
I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Take care, Neha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Surakarta.
