The hurricane hit the families of Harbor Lane on 30 August. My home was one of 51 damaged, and 3 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 $8,650 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,650
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,200
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,450
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,500
• Tools and labor for repairs: $850
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope it all works out, Emiliano. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Kaduna this morning
Hang in there. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Yokohama but we're thinking of you. Take care
Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from London.
Wishing you peace, Emiliano. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Pasig
Praying for you, Emiliano. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Heraklion.
Hang in there, Emiliano. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of El Paso!
