Rebuilding after the heatwave: the Harbor settlement needs your help
Neighbors in the Harbor settlement are rebuilding after the heatwave; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The heatwave hit the Harbor settlement on 2 September. My home was one of 55 damaged, and 14 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 $1,200 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $330
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $110
• Roofing sheets and timber: $600
• Food parcels for displaced families: $160
Glad we found this place.
