The winter storm hit the Millbrook settlement on 15 August. My home was one of 77 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $9,550 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,950
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,150
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,450
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,000
Thanks for reading all this.

It's all in the list in the story. food parcels for displaced families is the big one at $1,950, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

Praying for you, Stephanie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Corpus Christi.
