The earthquake hit the Lakeview neighborhood on 13 July. My home was one of 39 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $1,000 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $280
• Roofing sheets and timber: $390
• Clean water and purification supplies: $75
• Food parcels for displaced families: $255
With deep gratitude,
Paolo
Updates from Paolo
Good news. Because of your gifts ($315 in total) the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 23% now ($230). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.
