The storm hit the Orchard neighborhood on 9 March. My home was one of 25 damaged, and 4 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $6,300 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,000
• Food parcels for displaced families: $610
• Clean water and purification supplies: $480
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,210

sending strength. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 13 people at work. Love from Cleveland.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gabriel!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. tools and labor for repairs comes first ($2,000) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Praying for you, Gabriel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
