The hurricane hit the Millbrook district on 29 August. My home was one of 86 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $7,600 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,700
• Clean water and purification supplies: $860
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $660
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,600
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,780
I hope life is good to you.

rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Shared this with my family. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Caroline. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Caroline. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
Praying for you, Caroline. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together.
Rooting for you, Caroline. More neighborhoods should do this.
