The flash flood damaged 40 homes in the Harbor neighborhood. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.

The flash flood hit the Harbor neighborhood on 5 January. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $6,100 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,800 • Clean water and purification supplies: $490 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,400 • Food parcels for displaced families: $980 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,430 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Aubree

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($4,346 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 56% now ($3,400). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward tools and labor for repairs.

  3. Small update. $1,904 so far, I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.
