After the tornado, families in the Greenfield district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The tornado hit the Greenfield district on 12 August. My home was one of 78 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $7,000 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,300
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,250
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,450
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Iztapalapa.
hang in there, Lauren. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Málaga donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Málaga.
Wishing you peace, Lauren. More neighborhoods should do this. Love from Sukkur
