The flood hit Orchard village on 12 July. My home was one of 86 damaged, and 12 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,100 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $130 • Roofing sheets and timber: $430 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $175 • Tools and labor for repairs: $365 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Popy

    Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

    • Alexander Bowers

      Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 8 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
