The tornado hit the families of Eastgate Lane on 25 August. My home was one of 45 damaged, and 10 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 $8,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,550
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,550
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $720
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,480
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Jade. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
thinking of you and your family, Jade. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of New Orleans.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 15 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Fresno
hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Sukkur donated after I showed her your page
sending good thoughts, Jade. Great idea, hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Berlin
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Girona but we're thinking of you. Take care
