Rebuilding after the ice storm: the Greenfield settlement needs your help
After the ice storm, families in the Greenfield settlement need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The ice storm hit the Greenfield settlement on 5 September. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 14 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $6,100 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,450
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,200
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,000
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,450

Small update. $444 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 11% funded and the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled.
Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($1,324). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families.
