The heatwave hit the Northside district on 9 February. My home was one of 71 damaged, and 9 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $550 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $340
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $85
• Food parcels for displaced families: $125
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Houston.
Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Patna.
