The tornado hit the Old Town district on 16 March. My home was one of 25 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $6,050 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,300
• Clean water and purification supplies: $550
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $690
• Food parcels for displaced families: $600
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,910
Thank you so much.

Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Soweto
is there anything that isn't money that would help Donna?

Wishing you peace, Donna. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
you're not alone. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Regensburg so I could bring a meal!
