Hurricane in San Cristóbal de las Casas: help the Riverside settlement rebuild
Neighbors in the Riverside settlement are rebuilding after the hurricane; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The hurricane hit the Riverside settlement on 28 August. My home was one of 28 damaged, and 13 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,150
• Clean water and purification supplies: $105
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $270
• Food parcels for displaced families: $580
• Tools and labor for repairs: $495
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Graciela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thinking of you and your family, Graciela. More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. All the best
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Ikeja but we're thinking of you
