Hurricane in Hialeah: help Harbor village rebuild
After the hurricane, families in Harbor village need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇺🇸 Hialeah, Florida, United States6,784 views
The hurricane hit Harbor village on 4 August. My home was one of 49 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $5,750 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $720
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,250
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,800
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $980
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
praying for you. More neighborhoods should do this. After 29 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
Stay strong, Mercy. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 6 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Pietermaritzburg.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Hialeah.
Take care, Mercy. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal. Love from Anaheim.
Thanks for sharing this, Mercy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
