The hurricane hit the families of Millbrook Lane on 21 August. My home was one of 78 damaged, and 13 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 $1,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $880
• Tools and labor for repairs: $270
• Clean water and purification supplies: $100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Keisha.
It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $880, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Mandeville
You're not alone, Keisha. Looking forward to the next update
hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
