The flash flood hit the Harbor district on 21 August. My home was one of 48 damaged, and 13 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 $3,100 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,050
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,050
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,000
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Maverick
Update from Lexington: I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 14% now ($425). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.
