The flash flood hit the families of Millbrook Lane on 11 August. My home was one of 51 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $8,100 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $730
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,100
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,250
• Food parcels for displaced families: $2,020

how is Caleb doing now?
Thinking of you and your family, Caleb. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Caleb?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about clean water and purification supplies, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Sending strength. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings!
You're not alone, Caleb. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page.
