The hurricane hit Sunrise village on 26 August. My home was one of 31 damaged, and 14 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 $3,750 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,000
• Food parcels for displaced families: $700
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,050
Thanks for being kind about this.
Updates from Anthony
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,469 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $322 so far, I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. - Anthony
