The winter storm hit the families of Harbor Lane on 11 July. My home was one of 31 damaged, and 14 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $6,850 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,650
• Clean water and purification supplies: $720
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,600
• Food parcels for displaced families: $2,050
• Tools and labor for repairs: $830
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this, Nevaeh. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Sacramento this morning.
good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Kathmandu
Hang in there. Great idea, hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
Hope things get better soon. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Nevaeh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 13 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care!
