The flash flood hit Orchard village on 17 October. My home was one of 88 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $7,450 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $820
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $690
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,550
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,390
I hope life is good to you.

Hope you get there. We're a small family in Cairns but we're thinking of you
Stay strong, Salvador. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
