The storm hit Northside village on 26 August. My home was one of 90 damaged, and 12 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 $4,800 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,550
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,150
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,100
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Janet. Great idea, hope you get there.
your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Hope this works out for you. After 20 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of London.
