The cyclone hit the families of Harbor Lane on 17 March. My home was one of 83 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $900 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $420 • Clean water and purification supplies: $115 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $85 • Food parcels for displaced families: $135 • Tools and labor for repairs: $145 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    Went above and beyond

    This is the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity. They didn't just offer help; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and followed through on every commitment.

    Exceptional service

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Great help in a difficult time

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
