The hurricane hit the Hillcrest district on 24 August. My home was one of 83 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 $5,250 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,400
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,150
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $700
Thank you for reading my story.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($622 in total) the plan for roofing sheets and timber is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
