The storm hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 6 February. My home was one of 64 damaged, and 13 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 $4,700 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,300
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,850
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,550
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Greyson
Wanted to say thank you properly. 60% funded and I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($773 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Greyson?
