The heatwave hit the families of Millbrook Lane on 23 August. My home was one of 52 damaged, and 3 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 $400 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $105
• Food parcels for displaced families: $135
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $160
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thinking of you and your family, Mahesh. Great idea, hope you get there. All the best.
