The cyclone hit Eastgate village on 20 July. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 2 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $600
• Food parcels for displaced families: $250
• Tools and labor for repairs: $350
Thanks for being kind about this.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Western. I'll ask around and let you know!
How is Sanduni doing now?
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Giza so I could bring a meal.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sanduni.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. roofing sheets and timber is the biggest at $600. It helps to be asked.
thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Praying for you, Sanduni. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Take care, Sanduni. Shared it with a few friends. Take care!
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Fresno.
Praying for you, Sanduni. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Kelowna.
