The storm hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 22 May. My home was one of 76 damaged, and 13 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $6,250 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,900 • Clean water and purification supplies: $760 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $670 • Food parcels for displaced families: $610 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,310 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

        Take care, Ezekiel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
