The tornado hit the families of Old Town Lane on 22 May. My home was one of 63 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 $7,900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $5,250
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,300
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $930
• Clean water and purification supplies: $420
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong, Ella. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Take care, Ella. More neighborhoods should do this. Love from Jessore
hope you get there. Sent it to 10 people at work. Greetings from Brescia.
Good luck, Ella. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Mohammedia this morning.
