The storm hit the Lakeview settlement on 19 August. My home was one of 67 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $5,550 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,500
• Clean water and purification supplies: $390
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,100
• Food parcels for displaced families: $660
• Tools and labor for repairs: $900
Thanks for being kind about this.

stay strong, Travis. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Sending love, Travis. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Travis. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Aberdeen.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Sacramento.
