The cyclone hit the Lakeview district on 30 May. My home was one of 37 damaged, and 2 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 $1,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $580
• Clean water and purification supplies: $110
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $90
• Food parcels for displaced families: $185
• Tools and labor for repairs: $235
Thank you for reading my story.

so sorry you're going through this, Hitesh. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
You're not alone, Hitesh. More neighborhoods should do this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending strength. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hitesh.
Roofing sheets and timber is $580 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Hope it all works out, Hitesh. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Birmingham.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Gondar
Hang in there, Hitesh. Hope you get there. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Wishing you the best, Hitesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Lagos.
Wishing you peace, Hitesh. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Paris
Rooting for you, Hitesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Love from Frankfurt
