The storm hit the families of Riverside Lane on 28 August. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 12 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 $5,650 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,700
• Clean water and purification supplies: $560
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $790
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,600
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

thinking of you, Valérie. Hope you get there. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Valérie
It's all in the list in the story. tools and labor for repairs is the big one at $1,700, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. After 19 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Valérie?
Thank you. If you're in Nice I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
So sorry you're going through this, Valérie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Fayetteville.
How is Valérie doing now?
wishing you peace, Valérie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Love from Tel Aviv.
Sending good thoughts, Valérie. Great idea, hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Chiang Mai
