The storm hit the Lakeview district on 4 February. My home was one of 17 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $1,850 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $590
• Clean water and purification supplies: $135
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210
• Food parcels for displaced families: $380
• Tools and labor for repairs: $535
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you, Alejandra. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to Embakasi so I could bring a meal!
Best of luck, Alejandra. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
Take care, Alejandra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Greetings from Augsburg.

Take care. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Sacramento but we're thinking of you.
