The heatwave hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 13 March. My home was one of 14 damaged, and 14 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 $800 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $120
• Food parcels for displaced families: $220
• Roofing sheets and timber: $220
• Tools and labor for repairs: $240
Thanks for being kind about this.
