The storm hit the Eastgate district on 27 August. My home was one of 66 damaged, and 4 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 $4,050 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $660
• Food parcels for displaced families: $940
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,450
Thank you so much.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($217 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Adeline

Stay strong, Adeline. 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
