The earthquake hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 4 September. My home was one of 65 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $850 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $125
• Tools and labor for repairs: $220
• Roofing sheets and timber: $380
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Irma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Thinking of you, Irma. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Rooting for you, Irma. Looking forward to the next update
Thinking of you and your family, Irma. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Latina donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
