Rebuilding after the storm: the Hillcrest neighborhood needs your help

The storm damaged 64 homes in the Hillcrest neighborhood. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.

The storm hit the Hillcrest neighborhood on 15 September. My home was one of 64 damaged, and 14 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 $2,850 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,150 • Clean water and purification supplies: $310 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $400 • Food parcels for displaced families: $330 • Tools and labor for repairs: $660 Thanks for being kind about this.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($495). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

  2. Update from Novosibirsk: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,134 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
