The earthquake hit the Riverside settlement on 26 January. My home was one of 56 damaged, and 10 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 $2,050 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $510
• Clean water and purification supplies: $280
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $380
• Food parcels for displaced families: $650
• Tools and labor for repairs: $230
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Pedro. Looking forward to the next update.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Celaya.
Hope it all works out, Pedro. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
