The storm hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 11 July. My home was one of 87 damaged, and 10 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $6,350 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,200
• Clean water and purification supplies: $370
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $670
• Food parcels for displaced families: $960
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,150
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Claudia?
Thank you. If you're in Berlin I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
You're not alone, Claudia. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Keep going, Claudia. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Berlin.
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Rawalpindi.
take care, Claudia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
