The storm hit the Millbrook district on 13 August. My home was one of 14 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $3,900 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $320 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $780 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,800 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Alexandra

Updates from Alexandra

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($735 in total) the plan for clean water and purification supplies is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($600 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
