The storm hit Harbor village on 18 June. My home was one of 26 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. 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 $5,300 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $990 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,650 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,660 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Ingrid

                    • thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 19 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
