The flood hit Lakeview village on 24 March. My home was one of 59 damaged, and 6 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 $1,550 goes:
โข Clean water and purification supplies: $180
โข Food parcels for displaced families: $560
โข Roofing sheets and timber: $810
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

best of luck, Patrice. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Half-Way Tree.
so sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Patrice
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. clean water and purification supplies comes first ($180) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
hang in there, Patrice. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
Rooting for you, Patrice. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together
You're not alone, Patrice. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
