The storm hit the families of Northside Lane on 8 September. My home was one of 87 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. 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 $2,800 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $400 • Clean water and purification supplies: $380 • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,500 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $520 With deep gratitude, Barbara

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Barbara.

    • Barbara BąkOwnerAnswer

      Food parcels for displaced families is $400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
