The flash flood hit the families of Riverside Lane on 26 April. My home was one of 59 damaged, and 6 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 $3,000 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,250
• Clean water and purification supplies: $990
• Food parcels for displaced families: $760
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
