The heatwave hit Eastgate village on 22 August. My home was one of 34 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $740
• Clean water and purification supplies: $75
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $185
• Food parcels for displaced families: $270
• Tools and labor for repairs: $180
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong, Sneha. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Take care.
projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Rome.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
So sorry you're going through this, Sneha. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
