We lost everything in the heatwave: help the Millbrook neighborhood start over

The heatwave hit the Millbrook neighborhood on 29 August. My home was one of 30 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $600 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $150 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $85 • Clean water and purification supplies: $70 • Tools and labor for repairs: $295 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
