The storm hit the Millbrook neighborhood on 6 May. My home was one of 55 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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 $1,200 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $500 • Food parcels for displaced families: $195 • Clean water and purification supplies: $210 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $295 If you're reading this, thank you.

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

        Hope things get better soon, Carmen. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
