The earthquake hit Millbrook village on 8 July. My home was one of 18 damaged, and 4 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 $2,200 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $540 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,050 • Food parcels for displaced families: $610 I hope life is good to you. - Zoey

            It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

                        Thanks for sharing this, Zoey. More neighborhoods should do this. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
