The hurricane hit the Hillcrest neighborhood on 31 May. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 7 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 $4,100 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,350 • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,850 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $900 With deep gratitude, Annabelle

    Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Kadıköy but we're thinking of you. Love from Kadıköy.

      rooting for you, Annabelle. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

        Rooting for you, Annabelle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
