Neighbors in the Orchard settlement are rebuilding after the storm; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The storm hit the Orchard settlement on 30 December. My home was one of 19 damaged, and 7 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $5,750 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,250
• Clean water and purification supplies: $560
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,050
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,100
• Tools and labor for repairs: $790
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

wishing you peace, Jules. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Chennai.
Thanks for sharing this, Jules. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending love. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Ubud donated after I showed her your page. Take care
