The tornado hit the Millbrook district on 22 November. My home was one of 68 damaged, and 10 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 $3,950 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $620
• Clean water and purification supplies: $730
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $850
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,750
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you, Gregory. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
