The storm hit Riverside village on 17 September. My home was one of 71 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $1,850 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $960
• Clean water and purification supplies: $185
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $140
• Food parcels for displaced families: $270
• Tools and labor for repairs: $295

Take care, Dumisani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hope it all works out, Dumisani. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you. Great idea, hope you get there. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Praying for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We're a small family in Aberdeen but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon, Dumisani. Hope you get there.
