The storm hit the Old Town district on 21 February. My home was one of 79 damaged, and 10 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $4,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,400
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $820
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,300
• Clean water and purification supplies: $780
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you. Hope you get there. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Sheffield.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 6 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Dwarka.
hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Tampa donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Sending strength, Madelyn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you peace, Madelyn. I hope things turn around soon. After 19 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
