Rebuilding after the winter storm: the Lakeview settlement needs your help
Neighbors in the Lakeview settlement are rebuilding after the winter storm; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The winter storm hit the Lakeview settlement on 16 October. My home was one of 21 damaged, and 8 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 $4,250 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $520
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,250
• Food parcels for displaced families: $780
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,700
Every share and every dollar helps.
