And while those 8 families from Maskall received help from NEMO, Dawn Phillips, the Port Loyola resident whose house fell to pieces on Thursday morning, is still down and out, hoping that you can help her.
As we told you, the heavy thunderstorm on Wednesday night beat down on her house, and when she woke up it completely crumbled.
This evening, she told us that she's been going around trying to get assistance to get back on her feet, but it has been a very tedious process:
Dawn Philips, Port Loyola resident
"Nothing change as yet, I am still waiting for help. I need help from the minister and whosoever. I haven't seen Boots since, but then I saw Mr. Usher pass through this morning and told me that he will come and see me this evening. This morning I went at the Red Cross and the lady told me that Monday is a holiday, so she will assist me on Tuesday and she will give me some clothes because only clothes she can give me and then she recommended me to the Human Department and so I went over there and they told me that they will give me a call either Wednesday or Thursday."

"What has been the reaction of those who lives around you and those who seen it and knows you personally and they now see the plight that you are in?"
Dawn Philips, Port Loyola resident
"Well everybody has my back and everybody supports me in any which way and I am happy for all the help that I have gotten from everyone. Right now as I said I need a little assistance like for clothes and whatever, food and things."
If you would like to assist Dawn Phillips, you can reach her at phone number 6-6-1-8-5-9-7.
