The storm hit Old Town village on 9 September. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 3 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $6,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,500
• Clean water and purification supplies: $690
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $640
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,750
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,720
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Uppsala
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about roofing sheets and timber, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Macon so I could bring a meal
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Henrik.
Roofing sheets and timber is $1,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Uppsala.
Sending strength, Henrik. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
