The ice storm hit Marketplace village on 29 August. My home was one of 90 damaged, and 11 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $5,800 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,100
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,850
• Clean water and purification supplies: $520
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,330
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

so sorry you're going through this, Ethan. This could happen to any of us. Love from Nakuru.
Hope things get better soon, Ethan. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Laval.
Best of luck, Ethan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
rooting for you, Ethan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
