The storm hit the families of Millbrook Lane on 2 August. My home was one of 14 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $1,750 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $350 • Food parcels for displaced families: $230 • Roofing sheets and timber: $830 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $340 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Larysa

  1. Small update. $995 so far, I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 35% funded and the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($250 in total) the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
