The storm hit the Northside settlement on 8 March. My home was one of 57 damaged, and 5 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $6,150 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,800
• Clean water and purification supplies: $530
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $590
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,350
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,880

Sending good thoughts, Isabella. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of London.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. After 28 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Epe.
Praying for you, Isabella. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
