The tornado hit Marketplace village on 25 September. My home was one of 70 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 $3,850 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $500
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,650
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,700

Stay strong, José. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, José. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Jodhpur
wishing you the best, José. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Gqeberha donated after I showed her your page.
