The winter storm hit the families of Riverside Lane on 2 September. My home was one of 74 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $5,300 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,650
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,450
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,200
Glad we found this place.

Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 25 people at work. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Amelia!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. food parcels for displaced families comes first ($1,650) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Oakland
