The typhoon hit the families of Riverside Lane on 7 May. My home was one of 12 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $4,850 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $500
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,300
Thank you so much.
Updates from Noboru
Update from Kyoto: we've started the first stage. We're at 42% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,221 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($754 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope it all works out, Noboru. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
how is Noboru doing now?
you're not alone, Noboru. Your post was clear and honest. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Hang in there, Noboru. More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Cairo this morning. Take care.
