Storm in Berlin: help Harbor village rebuild

After the storm, families in Harbor village need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

Berlin
The storm hit Harbor village on 19 June. My home was one of 22 damaged, and 9 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $5,600 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,500 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,950 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,150 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
