Rebuilding after the tornado: the families of Hillcrest Lane needs your help

The tornado hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 3 May. My home was one of 31 damaged, and 4 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $5,750 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $680 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,000 • Roofing sheets and timber: $4,070 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
