Rebuilding after the storm: the families of Marketplace Lane needs your help

The storm hit the families of Marketplace Lane on 29 January. My home was one of 41 damaged, and 12 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 $450 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $120 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $190 • Food parcels for displaced families: $140 Thanks for reading all this.
