The storm hit Orchard village on 17 June. My home was one of 32 damaged, and 11 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 $1,600 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $590
• Clean water and purification supplies: $190
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $280
• Food parcels for displaced families: $300
• Tools and labor for repairs: $240
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

This could happen to any of us. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Buenos Aires
Rooting for you, Salvador. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
