Earthquake in Guadalajara: help the Old Town neighborhood rebuild
Neighbors in the Old Town neighborhood are rebuilding after the earthquake; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇲🇽 Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico1,838 views
The earthquake hit the Old Town neighborhood on 26 August. My home was one of 67 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,350
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $450
• Tools and labor for repairs: $400
