The storm hit Hillcrest village on 15 July. My home was one of 81 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $7,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $460
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,350
• Food parcels for displaced families: $610
• Tools and labor for repairs: $780
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love. Great idea, hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Thinking of you, Weston. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending love, Weston. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Southampton.

Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Beersheba so I could bring a meal
More neighborhoods should do this. Put this on a community board in Dallas this morning. Take care.
You're not alone, Weston. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. God bless
