The heatwave hit the Harbor district on 16 December. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $800 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $170
• Roofing sheets and timber: $520
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $110
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Akash?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about tools and labor for repairs, advice is welcome too.
praying for you, Akash. Great idea, hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Tokyo this morning. Greetings from Tokyo
Rooting for you, Akash. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We're a small family in Laredo but we're thinking of you!
