The ice storm hit the Lakeview district on 31 August. My home was one of 81 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $4,050 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $980 • Clean water and purification supplies: $1,150 • Tools and labor for repairs: $890 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,030 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

      Hope it all works out, Hannah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
