The flash flood hit the Marketplace settlement on 14 May. My home was one of 37 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $8,850 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,200
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,050
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,150
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,800
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,650
Glad we found this place.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Tiffany?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about roofing sheets and timber, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Hang in there, Tiffany. Your post was clear and honest.
