We lost everything in the heatwave: help the Northside district start over

After the heatwave, families in the Northside district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The heatwave hit the Northside district on 28 July. My home was one of 69 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $1,400 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $670 • Clean water and purification supplies: $115 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210 • Food parcels for displaced families: $220 • Tools and labor for repairs: $185 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Harini

    Exceptional service

    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.

      Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Manchester.
