The hurricane hit Marketplace village on 14 June. My home was one of 15 damaged, and 6 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 $3,700 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,150
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $820
• Food parcels for displaced families: $720
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,010
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Grand Rapids.
Hang in there, Sapna. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Take care, Sapna. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hang in there, Sapna. This could happen to any of us. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Sending strength, Sapna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Oaxaca de Juárez so I could bring a meal. Blessings
