The flash flood hit the Orchard district on 13 March. My home was one of 59 damaged, and 3 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 $5,500 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $690 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,600 • Roofing sheets and timber: $3,210 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Hudson

    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.

    Amazing support system

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

    Trustworthy helper

    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.
