The heatwave hit Greenfield village on 1 September. My home was one of 17 damaged, and 9 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,050 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $60 • Tools and labor for repairs: $270 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $115 • Roofing sheets and timber: $605 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Went above and beyond

    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.

    Made me feel heard

    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.
