The storm hit the Millbrook settlement on 27 June. My home was one of 48 damaged, and 10 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 $5,100 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $950
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,700
• Clean water and purification supplies: $910
• Food parcels for displaced families: $540
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

- Delivered on promises
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.
