Rebuilding after the storm: the Sunrise settlement needs your help

The storm hit the Sunrise settlement on 23 March. My home was one of 23 damaged, and 7 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 $700 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $350 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $250 • Clean water and purification supplies: $100 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Kwesi
