The hurricane hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 15 September. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $5,450 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,100
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,300
• Food parcels for displaced families: $2,050
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope things get better soon. More neighborhoods should do this. All the best!
Wishing you the best, Beth. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Bronx.

Hang in there, Beth. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Fortaleza.
Sending love. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Manchester.
