Anaheim
The hurricane hit the families of Eastgate Lane on 16 May. My home was one of 34 damaged, and 13 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. 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 $7,050 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $840 • Roofing sheets and timber: $4,450 • Food parcels for displaced families: $600 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,160 I hope life is good to you. - Jordan

Updates from Jordan

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,297 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($2,383). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for tools and labor for repairs is now scheduled.

              It's all in the list in the story. clean water and purification supplies is the big one at $840, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
